Amazon Macie is available to protect data stored in Amazon S3.

| Vice President at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | I've found Amazon Macie helpful for identifying sensitive data and enhancing data governance, with automated reports and real-time alerts, though I wish it had better anomaly detection and was more cost-effective as usage grows. |
| Cloud security engineer at Thecornelis | 4.0 | I use Amazon Macie to manage data confidently, knowing our configuration is secure. It's a worthwhile investment with AWS as our cloud provider. I haven't considered or used other solutions, and there's no need for improvement. |
| Senior Cloud Cybersecurity Engineer at Societe Generale | 2.5 | I find Amazon Macie helpful for securing S3 storage with good performance. However, it is quite expensive, which is a drawback. I haven't used other solutions for comparison or considered alternatives. No specific deployment or cloud provider is mentioned. |
