Diverse features and affordability drive effective resource management

Amazon EBS offers diverse features. It can be used for multi-purpose storage, supporting single, multiple, or heavy loads. It has different types for various use cases, allowing me to choose based on my specific requirements. The primary advantage of Amazon EBS is affordability compared to other solutions like EFS or FSX. It acts as a hard drive for servers, making it essential for operation.

Great document storing and easy to set up but needs to offer more collaboration capabilities

It should have collaboration features. For example, if I upload a document and I want the document which I upload to be discussed among my colleagues and peers, I should be able to share. I'd like for us to be collaborating, discussing the document, adding to the document, et cetera. I'd like it to be possible for teams to collaboratively create the document. Compliance or records management could be improved. For example, if I upload a document, a legal document such as a contract, when you onboard a new customer, you would like to have that contract document stored. At the same time, it should be logged. Once a document is approved and taken by printout and sent to the customer, it should be logged. It should not be allowed to be editable; you shouldn't be able to make changes to it. For records management, it should only be accessible to some people, not everyone. I would like to have records management features and compliance features where data could be hidden. Items such as personal data should be hidden or masked. I would like to have GDPR features added. We had some slight hiccups during the setup process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Amazon EBS offers diverse features."

"When it comes to valuable features, ease of use would be number one."

"With Amazon EBS, if you want to add an additional disk to an EC2 instance, you can simply attach an EBS volume by clicking through a few options, and it's done."

"One of the most valuable was snapshots. There were scenarios in which the whole EC2 crashed, or we were unable to use it for some time, but the data on the mounted volumes were crucial to us. So, at that time, snapshots were very helpful."

"The integration of Amazon EBS with EC2, S3, and Amazon Glacier is seamless and easy, creating a comprehensive cloud environment."

"I would recommend Amazon EBS to other people."

"One of the features I find most valuable is that EBS can be independent. You can attach and detach it from your server."

"If EBS is attached to an EC2 instance, it allows secure document storage."

More Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) pros

"DocuWare allows for easy document management and workflow automation, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and streamlining the approval process."

"For the most part, the initial setup is easy. There's good documentation."

Cons

"Regarding EBS, if an instance is terminated, the volume is also deleted, which leads to data loss."

"Amazon EBS could improve by offering immutability of the data."

"There is a challenge of intermittent reachability with instances, where the product is sometimes available and other times not, which affects the development environment's stability."

"The main challenge with Amazon EBS is cost management, as it is a high-performance volume. Sequencing and IOPS relative to cost are also areas of concern."

"I see a need for improvement in the scalability of Amazon EBS."

"AWS services could improve by including services in the FreeTier, like Route 53 domains or SSL certificates."

"I see a need for improvement in the scalability of Amazon EBS. If I need something more scalable, I rely on another storage solution like S3."

"I do not have anything in mind for improvement at the moment."

More Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) cons

"It should have collaboration features."

"Its graphical user interface could be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, if one point is a cheap solution and ten points is very expensive, I rate the product price an eight."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"I find the price reasonable for our I environment."

"What I want Amazon to do is lower the price."

"The solution is quite costly."

"You need to pay additional costs for support."

"The cost can vary greatly depending on the use case, ranging from one dollar to over $1200 dollars per month."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high, I rate the price a seven."

More Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) pricing and cost advice

"While the price may be considered slightly high, it is still reasonable within the context of other options available on the market."
