Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The durability and snapshot capabilities are good.""When it comes to valuable features, ease of use would be number one.""The most important feature is the volume types in those hundred EDS. For example, if you need a volume with high IOPS, you should choose an io2 or io2 Block Express volume type. The default volume type for EBS is GP3, which is a good balance of performance and price for most workloads.""The most valuable features of Amazon EBS are the ease of mounting any file system and good for block storage. We can use secondary storage for our difficult instances and it performs well.""The product comes with multiple central port installations like gp2 and gp3.""The most valuable feature of Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is its scalability.""The most valuable feature is its scalability. I can easily scale the block from terabytes to gigabytes.""Amazon EBS is a storage system, and the storage is attached to the servers."

"The tool's most valuable feature is security access policies.""I also like its speed. It's basically built on Azure Blob Storage, which was already fast. But Azure Data Lake Storage adds the hierarchical structure for even better performance.""It's a cloud-based tool within the Microsoft ecosystem, offering many benefits for data handling.""Azure Data Lake Storage is a user-friendly and easy-to-learn solution.""The response time and quality offered by the support team are good."

Cons
"I think performance can be improved.""There is room for improvement in terms of file storage. Recently, we had a scenario in which, in a file share, we had increased the IOPS capacity; this was for the production environment.""The initial setup is not easy.""The setup could be easier.""It would be better to analyze and find a way to merge both the file systems of Linux and Windows.""The product data encryption feature needs improvement.""In Amazon EBS, it is difficult to reduce the space chosen by the customer. The cost increases the moment the size of the storage increases, and I will have to pay for two TB of the tool instead of one TB.""Amazon EBS performs well but it could improve."

More Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) Cons →

"Some terminology is not easy to understand when using some interfaces.""The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""From an SAP perspective, direct connectivity to SAP systems is an area that could be enhanced.""Pricing is always a factor. It could be more affordable.""The solution needs to improve APIs and make them more accessible."
