We use the product heavily. All our data is stored in it. We are using Delta Lake, which is built on the product. We have started using the solution for an app project. Some files and storage should not be in the hot area. It should go into Glacier. We are looking into some recycling policies.

We save money with the product. If some file is not frequently accessed, Glacier helps put things there. It is a fantastic product that works as expected.

We had some issues with the product’s stability. A couple of times, we faced outage issues that caused us problems. It happened one or two times.

I am using the solution right now.

The outage issue caused us a little bit of a headache, but it recovered soon, so that's fine.

We have a minimum use for the product, but I have confidence about the scalability of Amazon products. Our organization's infrastructure, DevOps, and database teams use the product.

I have not sought support. I have heard the team talking about support. We are on the enterprise level, so support is good. Up until now, we have been happy.

The initial setup is very straightforward.

The engineers, developers, and infrastructure team ensure the platform is good. We are a big company.

The solution is cost-effective.

I like Amazon very much. We are a billion-dollar company, and we use Amazon heavily. We will use the cycle policies to ensure all the files that are not accessed frequently are put somewhere. We are planning a big change in our organization to reboot our data. 

We will have more data segmentation by using different buckets. When this transition is finished, we will work more toward the different layers of storage. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

We're a tech company, so we use a variety of solutions, but S3 Glacier is what we currently use for the database. 

We use it both internally for our own projects and our clients. We host some projects on Azure and AWS, depending on client requirements.

It's mostly used by enterprises for hosting various solutions.

We get free credits from Amazon, and we like the overall stability. We haven't had to rely heavily on their customer success teams, which is a good sign.

With hyperscalers like Amazon, things are generally pretty smooth. As long as the product is stable, billing is clear, and we don't have issues, we're happy.

Billing issues can be a nightmare. It's tough reaching the right person to get them sorted out.

I have been using this product for about three years. 

It is easy to scale. That's a major reason we use both Azure and AWS. They're very scalable.

We have around 35 end users using this in our company. 

When we have to reach out to them, it becomes an issue. They can improve, but we don't need them frequently anyway.

We don't get the right people right away. They connect us to someone who doesn't know, and then it goes in a loop, and we have to be very patient to find the person who can actually solve our problem.

We use Microsoft Azure services. But the usage depends on the client or the purpose. 

Some enterprises are typically on Azure, while others prefer AWS. We're cloud-native, so we don't differentiate between the two, but it depends on the client's needs.

My tech team handled it. It was a matter of hours, not days.

One person should be enough.

We have seen an ROI. That's why we're using it. We see value in the return; otherwise, we wouldn't continue.

Mainly on the cost side, It's very easy to use, which leads to cost synergies. That's how we look at it.

If it were cheaper, I'd be happier. I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. 

It is a yearly basis license. There are some other services that are linked with it as well.
