"Cool solution for improving backup management"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Storage Gateway?

It is pretty cool to be able to clean your on-premises storage and keep that data in the cloud. I guess this is a pretty regular case when you don't fully migrate to cloud infraestructure. Easy to setup and works pretty good with S3 buckets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Storage Gateway?

I can't think about something I dislike about this, my use case was pretty simple. Maybe just be aware of network issues, allocate some time windows in which your network can handle the volume of data you are moving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent and cheap cloud storage solution"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Storage Gateway?

I like the how easy is it to implement it. I played around with File and Volume gateway and eventually went with file gateway as per my project requirements.

Connecting the gateway to AD and mapping it to server/PC is really simple. I have implemented this solution instead to use on prem storage services.

On the top, it's cheaper than other solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Storage Gateway?

EC2 host as gateway is not fully developed and definitely not easy to implement. I used Vmware Esxi as a solution and that worked out great. but i tried with ec2 first and that wasn't working with public ip. Didn't try with VPC but it should work with public as well.

"Great way to quickly setup cloud based file repositories."

4.5/5

What do you like best about AWS Storage Gateway?

The ease of setup was one of the best things about utilizing AWS Storage Gateway in our production environment. We used a Stored Volume gateway in order to retain data local for quick access, and adding the VM into our VMware enviornment was quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Storage Gateway?

Increasing the size of Stored Volumes was a bit of a pain. Typically you had to restore from a previous snapshot onto a larger disk on your VM. On large volumes in environments with slow internet connections, this will result in long periods of exposure where you are not getting snapshots of your data for backup retention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Storage Gateway:

I would recommend carefully sizing your volumes with the AWS Storage Gateway, especially if you plan to use Stored Volumes. Increasing the size of these types of volumes leaves you exposed for a minimum of a period of a few hours to potentially a few days, depending on your environment.

What problems is AWS Storage Gateway solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before implementing the AWS Storage Gateway, we were not backing up data off-site. Following the 3-2-1 best practice, we utilized the AWS Storage Gateway to backup our critical data off-site on EBS snapshots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
