We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product helps to define storage type based on the requirement.""I don't have any problems with the solution. It's issue-free.""We appreciate that this solution is relatively easy to use, straightforward, and reliable.""The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is its flexibility as a solution to suit many different use cases.""The initial setup is not difficult or overly complex. It's very straightforward and easy to implement.""Amazon S3 is a storage bucket service with good stability.""It is easy to manage and easy to understand.""The solution is good and includes all the features we expect."

More Amazon S3 Pros →

"Storage was taking up maybe 10 to 20% of my life at the startup, and now it takes up zero. I was personally running all the infrastructure for the company. Now that we've moved to NetApp, I don't have to worry about making sure it's up and running. It's made my life personally much better.""High availability is very important to us because we have a production environment. High availability is the highest priority for us to continue keeping our systems running.""In terms of its storage snapshot efficiencies, the service is highly efficient. We are only doing things in small batches right now because we have not converted all of the data, but we have tested them in the Google Cloud and they work efficiently."

Cons
"A feature that should be included is to find and provide a HIPPA compliant solution for the Presigned URL.""The query size in Amazon S3 has room for improvement because it's limited. Querying on Amazon S3 is also expensive with Amazon Athena, so that's another area for improvement in the solution.""Amazon S3's unit of measure for expansion should be smaller.""We would like some improvement in the cost of storage via this solution, as it currently has a very high price point.""Amazon S3 could improve by being more secure.""The stability of the solution has room for improvement.""I would like a batch downloading option added to the AWS console.""We have used the support from Amazon S3. The support is expensive and could be reduced."

"It would help if they increased the area in which they employ artificial intelligence, by starting to do assessments on the environments, to project those. They're not using any AI tools, currently, on the administrative side.""The user interface has room for improvement. We would like this service to be more integrated with Azure, which is very easy to manage and use. It was easy to create volumes and add capacity pools in Azure, but in Google Cloud, we can only create separate volumes. We need more management or configuration options in the user interface.""I would like for the sales team to get in contact more often and let me know what I should be doing next, what we should be doing about new features. So it would be nice if I heard a little bit more from him. From a technology perspective, I have no complaints."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "With S3 Standard, there is not a charge for deletion of objects."
  • "This solution has reasonable pricing and a low cost."
  • "The licensing is pay as you go, and I'm happy with the pricing."
  • "The cost of storage is cheap. However, the cost to have a better interface can get expensive. We are using Athena for this purpose and if we did some heavy queries the cost will start adding up. When the Athena query is running, it will scan the bucket and they charge for how many GBs we are going to scan. The function of scanning has a lot of costs attached to it, this is a negative point."
  • "The price of the Amazon S3 is low. The license model is based on what you use."
  • "The price of Amazon S3 depends on various variables. However, the price overall is fair."
  • "The price of Amazon S3 could be less expensive."
  • "The license of Amazon S3 is based on volume, capacity, and time. The overall price of the solution could improve. The support has to be added if you want it at an additional cost."
  • More Amazon S3 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We don't need so much space, and there is no option to pay as we go or use just what we need. Also, the only way to increase performance is by increasing the level of the service."
