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 of the product is storage classes.""Uploads are secure and occur instantly.""I've also used Azure's tool, and S3 is far more stable I haven't seen the same issues on AWS that I'm having on Azure. Amazon CloudFront is way faster. The websites are loading way faster than when you do it on Azure CDN.""I used Amazon AWS/S3 solution to prove my concept before deploying it on real hardware. It was a great experience and was really scalable.""The solution is good and includes all the features we expect.""The solution is easy to use for anyone with minimal technical knowledge.""We have cold storage here, and I think that's useful. When it comes to commercialization, it's cheaper to put data that you won't be using into the data storage. You only use a little bit of the data needed each day for your transition, so you pay less.""The versioning of this solution for accidental deletion has been most valuable."

"It's a scalable product.""The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning.""Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven.""The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality.""From the database perspective, Oracle is the best.""The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background.""The interface is good.""The backup is reliable and intuitive."

Cons
"Amazon S3's unit of measure for expansion should be smaller.""The solution's data transfer speed could be improved.""They could always increase object storage ability.""It is expensive for storing.""Could include some additional security features.""If a certain resource is left unchecked, you can easily use a lot of it and drive up costs.""Amazon S3 could improve the performance reports. It would be a benefit if they were more comprehensive.""We have used the support from Amazon S3. The support is expensive and could be reduced."

"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups.""It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed.""We cannot use the product with other brands.""The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it.""They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment.""Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined.""Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution.""The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."

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."

  • "It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
  • "Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite 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."
  • "The platform is expensive."
  • "The platform is expensive."
  • "The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."

    Overview

    Amazon Simple Storage Service is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

    Amazon S3 has a simple web services interface that you can use to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.

    Oracle Database Backup Service is a secure, scalable, on-demand solution for storing Oracle Database backups in Oracle Cloud.

    Oracle databases are backed up to Oracle Database Backup Service using the Oracle Database Cloud Backup Module. The module is available from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and is tightly integrated with Recovery Manager (RMAN), so you can continue to use familiar RMAN commands for backup and restore operations.
