Considered Both Products	Amazon S3 Glacier Verified User Anonymous Chose Amazon S3 Glacier We only compared the costs but as most of our machines and services are AWS centric and final call was with client so they decided to go with AWS Glacier only. Incentivized Helpful? PP Patrick Plaisance CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Chose Amazon S3 Glacier Amazon Glacier isn't a direct competitor to the products I've listed; it could compare to the clouds/data warehouses each of these products use to store their data. In the case of CloudBerry, Amazon Glacier is used with it to create a complete archival backup system. That … Incentivized Helpful? Dylan Cauwels DevOps Engineer Chose Amazon S3 Glacier Glacier is convenient with systems already on AWS and cheaper than S3 for data that needs to be accessed infrequently. A great tool for any team to use that has a legacy system or data. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Amazon S3 Glacier Since the rest of our infrastructure is in Amazon AWS, coding for sending data to Glacier just makes sense. The others are great as well, for their specific needs and uses, but having another third-party software to manage, be billed for, and learn/utilize can be costly in … Incentivized Helpful? Jeff Stockamp Principal Systems Administrator Chose Amazon S3 Glacier The other alternatives for us would involve moving objects out of S3 to some other object storage services, which would generate a lot of network traffic, or keep the objects on more expensive storage. Incentivized Helpful? Rytis Slatkevičius Owner Chose Amazon S3 Glacier It is significantly cheaper than other services, however, it is because it actually is a slightly different service. The other services we've tried allow live reading/writing of data as needed, whereas Glacier is a "cold storage" service. So essentially your choice ends up … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Amazon S3 Glacier	Solix Enterprise Data Management Suite (Solix EDMS)
Likelihood to Recommend	As described in the use case, it is perfect for backup data storage where you do not expect to retrieve the data often. Think of it as a data dump; it is nice to know you have a backup, but it actually is expensive and somewhat difficult to retrieve everything.

It helps data migration for [application] sunsetting and upgrades, reduce storage, and secures sensitive data. Solix is considered a pioneer in providing a complete infrastructure platform to manage data across [applications], e-mail, and documents in an enterprise.

Pros	Glacier is an inexpensive solution to the problem of storing rarely-accessed data for years. You can configure S3 buckets to transition objects to Glacier with a few clicks. It is easy to get started with Glacier; there is little learning curve and few concepts to familiarize yourself with. Incentivized Gavin Hackeling Data Scientist Read full review	Automates the process for archiving and purging of historical data. Helps towards greater business agility without spending a fortune on servers and storage. It is the foundation for E-Discovery through long-term data retention, data masking, database audit, and enterprise search.

Cons	Billing system isn't the smoothest to operate Recalling information from glacier can run slow depending on type of data Customer support Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Still some minor upgrade on indexes of records. It was a bit tough to get started so user onboarding could be improved. Incentivized AR Ananth Ramaswamy Data Engineering - Business Intelligence Read full review
Usability	It is difficult to delete the data as you have to wait for inventory and then bucket modification has to expire. Incentivized Rytis Slatkevičius Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Amazon Glacier isn't a direct competitor to the products I've listed; it could compare to the clouds/data warehouses each of these products use to store their data. In the case of CloudBerry, Amazon Glacier is used with it to create a complete archival backup system. That said, when using Amazon Glacier along with a product like CloudBerry, you can create a reliable, inexpensive cloud backup system for retaining HUGE quantities of data for much less than these other cloud backup solutions. HOWEVER, if you want to restore said data, the cost and complexity begin to become a major concern, so Amazon Glacier should only be considered in situations where you don't plan to touch the data regularly, if at all, once it's at Glacier.
