Amazon S3 Glacier offers cost-effectiveness and stability, making it ideal for data archiving with strong security and seamless AWS integration for versatility. Its scalability supports growing storage needs. However, retrieval times are slower, the pricing is complex, and technical support is lacking. Issues with GDPR compliance and occasional outages impact reliability. Despite these drawbacks, Amazon S3 Glacier remains a robust choice for secure data archiving, though improvements are needed in support and compliance.
