Earlier Moving terabytes and petabytes of data into the cloud can be challenge for many businesses but new feature of aws called AWS snowball made it so much easier , It's the fastest way to transfer Huge amount of data to cloud , it's transfer protocol is very reliable and secure to use , as it provides data very fast we can also used it for real time analysis for our IOT solutions and it's also very easy to integrate , here all data are encrypted end to end it's very easy to use with snowball appliances(it's the ship able physical storage device) , this device takes care about all the logistics for you to sort of simplify that process of getting your data shipped between two destinations and it has it's own label too.. !!

Although it's the fastest solution some times it takes little bit more time in transfer!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company recently used Snowball to help a client transfer a massive amount of data from one location to another and also to the cloud. We had not used snowball before and didn't realize there was an actual device that would be shipped but it was like Christmas when it arrived. Our team was able to help the client transfer their data in hours -- something that would have taken weeks or months if we had take another approach or used a different device. It was incredibly scalable and met the budgetary constraints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There wasn't anything our team disliked, aside from the shipping delays caused by weather to actually get the snowball delivered but that was more of a mother nature issue than an Amazon one Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Snowball makes it easy and quick to transfer huge data stores. I can easily track transfers into and out of the cloud by date and client without latency issues. The fact that it is always up, as in no downtime, is a major plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the tutorial info is bloated and unnecessary. It would be nice to use some of the tools meant for new users without having to sit through each and every step that is written for newcomers to cloud management. I have also talked to users that are multi lingual, and they have said that some of the instructions do not translate very well. This is not an issue I have with Snowball, but it might be a good idea to take a look at how well translation is being handled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very cost-effective solution for transferring data, and you can transfer many types of data i.e. (video, audio, analytical). It's very easy to attach to a local network and then, by using the Client, you can transfer selected files to the devices in encrypted form!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a little bit hard to learn AWS Management Console, customer support is not so good!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requesting and shipping a Snowball for Import/Export is easily done, either via the console or through their API. I've never had a customer not have enough space, and the design is robust enough to withstand manhandling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a non-technical end user, initial setup for data transfer can be a bear. Also, the size (physical and hard drive) is overkill for some clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The device is rather portable and seems to be a durable product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really do not have any huge complaints other than the cost could be a little less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Snowball Edge gives an edge to organizations that are looking to empower data center solutions. Many companies worry about data transfers when transitioning to the cloud. After all, moving that data back to the infrastructure can be an expensive and time-consuming process. However, Snowball Edge makes it easy to inexpensively move large volumes of data to and from the AWS cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd really like to support a smaller company, but no one can really compete with what amazon is churning out in this field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
