Donny Trijatmiko - PeerSpot reviewer
Dev Ops Engineer at MyRobin.ID
Effective storage management has supported reliable file archiving and secure data access
I have found Amazon S3 very useful and it has helped me considerably. I appreciate that Amazon S3 can provide a state lock when using Terraform, and it is widely used for storing objects. I assess Amazon S3's encryption options positively, as I always enable encryption. It is beneficial because it provides default encryption from server-side encryption at the bucket level. In my data management strategy using Amazon S3, I store data that I can return to an earlier state by using versioning on the bucket. For my company, the impact of Amazon S3's availability and durability statistics is very good because, to my knowledge, it experiences fewer outages.
Hosney Osman - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Solution Architect at Vodafone
Achieve high availability and security with automated tasks over a decade
While there are some disadvantages in this product, from my experience with basic use cases, daily tasks, integration, scheduling, saving, and encryption, I have not encountered significant areas for improvement. However, the addition of a GUI configuration management and administration console for all administrative tasks would be highly beneficial. It would be preferable to have the ability to perform all console, terminal, and command line operations through a GUI interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the automated replication of the data."
"We appreciate that this solution is relatively easy to use, straightforward, and reliable."
"The stability is very good."
"The initial setup is not difficult or overly complex. It's very straightforward and easy to implement."
"It's reliable and stable."
"The solution easily connects with the cloud, hardware, or other services to move data."
"I have worked with many petabytes of data stored in Amazon S3, and I have never had any performance issues, stability issues, or anything similar."
"Uploads are secure and occur instantly."
"I am satisfied with the licensing policy and pricing of this product."
"The interface is good."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is stable and offers high availability, and the commands for restoration and backup processes are not complicated."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"I like the stability and the scalability of this product."
 

Cons

"I would also like S3 to have the ability to do dynamic websites without the need to do reconfigurations outside of S3. You should be able to switch on dynamic websites in S3, and then it works. I shouldn't need to go elsewhere within Amazon Web Services to get a dynamic website to work."
"However, this sign is not compliant with internet regulations."
"It would be good if Amazon S3 had an API to get screenshots or video streaming continuously."
"The main pain point that I have faced is the need for faster restore times from Glacier tiers, which could definitely be improved."
"Sometimes we have to concentrate networks to a certain location, like the EU, for example. Therefore, if we set S3 in the EU region from the Middle East or Africa, the latency is an issue and we find it hard to connect to that S3."
"One of the issues we face is that it is a developer's environment."
"Amazon S3's unit of measure for expansion should be smaller."
"Everything around visibility, dashboards, and all of the statistics through which the tool provides information 24 hours a day means that it is not done on a real-time basis."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement. If you do a comparison with other products, it's more expensive and it stops a few customers from purchasing Oracle, especially the engineered systems that have the data and more, which are relatively expensive."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"The installation process is easy for me because I have performed this action hundreds of times. However, it is important to note that beginners and even some senior professionals may encounter significant difficulties during installation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon S3 is a cheap solution."
"The solution is cost-effective because it is based on a pay-as-you-go model, where I can purchase and use it according to my needs."
"The pricing can be improved."
"The price of Amazon S3 depends on various variables. However, the price overall is fair."
"The cost is based on the amount of storage required and if we exceed the data transfer rate across regions."
"The tool's price is a little bit high, but it is reasonable."
"While storing data in Amazon S3 is relatively inexpensive, there are costs associated with retrieving or transferring data across continents."
"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."
"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
"The platform is expensive."
"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
"The platform is expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service a seven or eight out of ten."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
