"An excellent storage gateway by Amazon Web Services"
3.5/5
What do you like best about AWS Storage Gateway?

AWS storage gateway delivers gateway-cached volume that allows you to get in touch with Amazon S3 for crucial information. AWS Storage Gateway carefully transfers your information to AWS over SSL. It is familiar with iCloud but it is more easy to use in a working setup and more consistent. It is a great platform for business use and links to other Amazon platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Storage Gateway?

The installation requirements i.e.: minimum processor and ROM/ RAM requirements are high of this appliance. There is nothing to identify or quantify the amount of data that has been written on S3 or how much memory space has left on it. It provides no uniformity of snap shooting. SS copies seem to crash. It there is a network outage, the status of the appliance would be difficult to check. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The AWS Storage Gateway is a service, associating an on-premises programming machine."
4/5
What do you like best about AWS Storage Gateway?

AWS offers Gateway-Cached volumes which enable you to use Amazon S3 for your essential information, while holding some segment of it locally as well. Gateway-Cached volumes and Gateway-Stored volumes give the capacity to make and store point-in-time previews of your stockpiling volumes in Amazon S3. The AWS Storage Gateway safely moves your information to AWS over SSL and stores information scrambled very still in Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier utilizing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256, a protected symmetric-key encryption standard utilizing 256-piece encryption keys. There is no compelling reason to re-engineer your on-premises applications. Passage Cached volumes and Gateway-Stored volumes uncover a standard iSCSI square circle gadget interface and Gateway-VTL presents a standard iSCSI virtual tape library interface.

What do you dislike about AWS Storage Gateway?

For an average user, AWS is considered to be hard to implement. And making things worse, it’s for an average user highly automated and less customizable, which makes it less feasible for a user who is looking for customizations. Furthermore, there are mixed reviews for the quality of support offered by AWS Storage Gateway as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gateways are promising, but not ready for primetime"
3/5
What do you like best about AWS Storage Gateway?

Easy to setup - they run on a wide variety of of virtualization platforms. Great for very basic file ingestion to S3 and Glacier. We continue to use the SMB gateway to write from legacy applications and ingest the data sets to S3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Storage Gateway?

We've had problems with performance on Virtual Tape Gateways, NFS Gateways and SMB Gateways. The gateway has no problem keeping up with uploading objects to Glacier and S3. However, virtual tapes had issues retrieving data virtual tapes - we were only able to restore 1 file at a time when attempting batch restores. SMB & NFS gateways were able to upload to S3 as fast as we could send data, but failed to flush the buffer - resulting in failed writes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloud Storage"
4/5
What do you like best about AWS Storage Gateway?

It is like icloud but easier to use in a work setting and more reliable than icloud. Better for business use rather than personal use. If you are a usual amazon user, this platform is enjoyable and easy to use. This platform connects to all other Amazon platforms such as Amazon s3 EBS, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Storage Gateway?

It is not directly connected to the current platforms we use in the workplace. Sometimes the buffering process takes time to load documents and data, but that is with any type of storage platform or site. meta data stored on s3 cannot be mapped across different protocols.

"Easiest way to achive hybrid architecture"
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Storage Gateway?

You can easily deploy and configure the storage gateway within a matter of mins. Once it's deployed you can use it to write data direct to S3, doing that means you can have a fully replicated DR solution, or bring a very old application into the cloud and take snapshots of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Storage Gateway?

The number of updates done to the gateway is more than expected, but notifications of the updates is very good, more detailed information regarding bandwidth recommendions would be appreciated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
