Vagner Martins - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced data security with seamless integration and static website capabilities
S3 is a great service offering numerous possibilities. It allows for storing objects and files of various types. I appreciate its capability to create static websites and integrate with services like CloudFront, EC2, and DynamoDB. Despite being focused on security, I leverage features such as cryptography and integration with CloudTrail.
PriyankShrivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
A workhorse that enables high availability but support has room for improvement
There is always room for improvement. When a product is marketed, many claims are made, but in reality, it does not always perform as expected. The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced. The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response.

Quotes from Members

"The most valuable features of the Amazon S3 are its ease of use and integration"
"The stability is very good."
"Amazon S3 is a stable solution."
"It's reliable and stable."
"The most valuable feature is the sharing capabilities."
"You don't have to specify your clone, availability clone, or your locations. Everything's over there. They have a receipt for the instance where we have to select the exact location of what we are clicking. The S3 storage capacity is high, and the price is reasonable."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is its flexibility as a solution to suit many different use cases."
"The technical support for the solution was very nice."
"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage is valuable for storing unstructured data, such as text documents and word documents."
"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."
"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."
"It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
 

Cons

"The UI should be more user-friendly."
"If a certain resource is left unchecked, you can easily use a lot of it and drive up costs."
"The initial setup was a bit hectic. Uploading data only allows for five GB chunks, creating challenges."
"It could maybe use more integration."
"Enhancements in security features might be beneficial."
"The solution's cost should be improved."
"The pricing and licensing are pretty complex."
"The read drive speed is not as fast as it should be."
"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."
"I could not find a load balancer in OCI similar to the support provided by Microsoft Azure and AWS."
"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
"The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."
"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."
"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten. Pricing depends on a particular class where you want save your objects. There are different classes when it comes to storage in S3."
"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."
"The price is okay."
"The cost of Amazon S3 could be better. As the number of data increases, you'll pay more for Amazon S3. It's around $200, which is okay, but my company uses it less often."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is reasonably priced."
"The solution is very inexpensive at 50 cents per gigabyte, per month."
"The cost depends on the data we access."
"The licensing model is complex."
"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."
"During the billing cycle, if I use the tool only for a day, I still need to pay you for a month."
"We have a yearly subscription for the product."
