Amazon S3 Reviews

Amazon S3 is our file storage solution. We use it for all of the backups of our storage and databases.

The most useful features of Amazon S3 are the intelligent multipart upload.

Amazon S3 could improve by being more secure.

I have been using Amazon S3 for approximately five years.

Amazon S3 is a stable solution.

I have found Amazon S3 very scalable, you can scale it on the fly and it is very easy to do.

Most all the cloud applications that are being used by our developer are using Amazon S3. More than 200 people are using this solution. At this moment we do not plan to increase usage.

I have used the support from Amazon S3 multiple times and they are good.

I have not used any other similar solution to  Amazon S3.

The initial setup of Amazon S3 is straightforward and the documentation is very good. You can do the setup of Amazon S3 in a few minutes.

We did the implementation ourselves.

The price of the Amazon S3 is low. The license model is based on what you use.

If users are looking for highly scalable, competent solutions, then Amazon S3 would be a good choice.

I rate Amazon S3 a nine out of ten.

We use Amazon s3 to store objects like data in my environment.

In one of my previous environments, I was brought in to help with the challenges they were facing resulting from a data breach in the S3 bucket. What I noticed in that environment was that every user had full access into their S3 bucket, and accidentally deleted data without a trace.

They did not know how some of their data was missing. One of the first services I suggested was enforcing access control by applying IM best practices, such as granting list privilege permission to our users to avoid overpowering them. I created a single group and then applied specific permissions to that group.

All users added to that group were able to inherit the same permission and privileges. Versioning was enabled which keeps multiple variant of objects in the same bucket and also safeguards against accidental deletions. I also enabled multi-factor authentication which prevented accidental bug deletion by requiring the user who initiate the delete action to prove physical possession of an MFA device with an MFA code. 

The versioning of this solution for accidental deletion has been most valuable. 

You need to fully understand the solution's best practices to get the most out of its security features. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

We have seen a return on investment with S3.

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.

I would advise others that this is a scalable solution that offers comprehensive security. 

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten. 

We are using Amazon S3 for storage. This is a Cloud solution. We have developed a new application which has partly been released to the end customer, but not the complete solution. In the housing market, we have a lot of buying and they use the application to manage their lectures and receipts. This is what we are using Amazon S3 for the storage.

Amazon S3 can improve by decreasing the overall costs.

I have been using Amazon S3 for approximately one and a half years.

Amazon S3 is reliable.

We have not used Amazon S3 extensively, but the usage has been very high.

We have approximately 40 to 50 people using this solution. There might be an increased usage.

I have not contacted the technical support form Amazon S3.

I have not used other similar solutions to Amazon S3.

The implementation of Amazon S3 is done by a third party.

The price of Amazon S3 could be less expensive.

I rate Amazon S3 a nine out of ten.

I use the solution for the storage of images and documents.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that I mostly used the tool's free tier version, so I like the fact that its cost is very low.

Recently, I was trying to clean up the data because I have a lot of old, unused objects and images. I am trying to identify the files with the highest sizes and determine if I need to keep them or delete them. I didn't find the user interface very friendly. Beyond 399 or 999 objects, the tool's user interface was not allowing me to use the sort option. I had to use various keywords to search phrases and shortlist them so that I got less than 399 objects and could use the sort option. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement.

I have been using Amazon S3 for around three years. I think two years back, I was in a different organization, which was an AWS partner. I am a customer of the tool.

It is a stable solution.

The solution's technical support is satisfactory. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

Positive

In my previous job, I used Sagemaker, but I don't use it currently. I have also used Amazon EC2 and CloudWatch for billing alerts or something that I might have set them up in the company.

The product's deployment phase is quite comfortable with no issues. The tool's maintenance part is fairly easy.

I don't use it that frequently, so I think it's too early to comment on the tool's pricing structure. Six months later, I may have more data related to the tool.

I can't comment on the pricing part of the product since I don't deal with a high workload for now.

I use the tool's free tier. I believe that there is a need to make annual payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product.

Speaking of the process for retrieving data with the help of the tool, I would say that it is used to just display images on a website. When the page is opened, it gets linked to images and I display it on the website using Amazon S3.

I did not face any performance issues with Amazon S3.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

We are using the solution to host our website and manage the database.

We have an online portal, and we are providing services to customers. We need to maintain an elastic database storage, along with security features. The solution’s functionality and accessibility are valuable to us. It's geared towards users. It makes things simple. The product is easy to use.

The product should enable users to create their own shortcuts. It should allow more customization. Users should be able to place their shortcuts on the dashboard. It will make things easier.

I have been using the solution for a year.

I rate the product’s stability a ten out of ten.

The product is scalable. We have over 50 users online at any given point. We can increase it as we need.

The setup is straightforward. We have a team of developers. They are very happy with the tool. The deployment did not take much effort. The product is cloud-based. We have six developers and engineers in our technical team.

Everything is housed in one place, so it is all easily accessible. The scalability is good. We have an assurance of data integrity. It is critical.

The pricing can be improved.

We are also using Azure.

For disaster recovery, there's a backup going on in AWS. At the same time, we take our own local backup. It is a daily process. People who want to use the solution must explore the tool and look at the training videos. It is quite straightforward.

We have a subscription model with our customers. They pay it yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product. We had a problem with storage when we were working with on-premise servers. The hard disks were failing because of the volume of the data. They were regularly failing every three to four months. There was a cost associated with it. It impacted our project.

Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

My use case for Amazon S3 is storage, particularly for unstructured data.

What I found most valuable in Amazon S3 is its versioning feature.

I also like that you can create pre-signed URLs on the solution.

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.

I have two years of experience with Amazon S3. I've been using the solution continuously.

Regarding stability, I'm rating Amazon S3 eight out of ten.

My rating for Amazon S3 scalability is eight out of ten.

I didn't encounter any issues with Amazon S3, so I have yet to contact the technical support team.

Setting up Amazon S3 was very straightforward.

The ROI from Amazon S3 is good.

The pricing for Amazon S3 is reasonable, so price-wise, it's a seven out of ten.

In my company, one person deployed Amazon S3. That person is also in charge of maintenance.

There's a possibility of increasing Amazon S3 usage in the future. Still, that depends on how much GB my company uses. It depends on the use cases.

I advise anyone planning to implement Amazon S3 to stick to the basics and follow the documentation to learn how to set it up.

My rating for Amazon S3 is eight out of ten because it's a very good solution.

I use Amazon S3 as storage and a platform for installing various types of software.

Amazon S3's best features are its reliability and capacity to expand.

Amazon S3's unit of measure for expansion should be smaller.

I've been using Amazon S3 for three years.

Amazon S3 is very stable.

Amazon S3 is scalable.

Previously I used Microsoft and Oracle.

I'd advise those thinking of implementing Amazon S3 to carefully plan their requirements and not use too many servers. I would recommend Amazon S3 to others and rate it eight out of ten.

I use the solution in my company mostly to store files. It is a file storage service.

I use many features in the tool, including data life cycle, automatic cleanup, and life cycle policies. I also use the tool's single-pane-of-glass view and dashboard. I don't know specifically what the important features are in the tool. The durability and availability features of Amazon S3 are amazing.

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. It's sometimes needed for users to see some real-time information immediately and not have to wait for 24t hours till a report is generated. For me, getting reports on a real-time basis is critical, and it is an area that is missing in Amazon S3.

For the cleanup policy, when I opened a couple of tickets with the tool's support team, I did not get any clear information on how to deal with the restoration part. When my company approached the tool's technical support with some questions about how to organize data, view it, and how it is distributed across the buckets, we did not receive any clear answers. The tool's support team needs to improve.

I have been using Amazon S3 for ten years. I am an end user of the solution.

It is a very good and stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

The tool offers great scalability to its users. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

At least half of my organization uses the tool. Most of our company's applications deploy, provide, or utilize the services offered by Amazon S3.

The tool is used on a daily basis.

For the service provided by the solution's technical support, I rate the technical support a six to seven out of ten.

Neutral

With Amazon, you don't have any other equivalent services, so Amazon S3 is a standard tool to use. In other environments, very different services, very similar to Amazon S3, are present on GCP and Azure. On other platforms, we use the services provided by other clouds.

The product's initial setup phase is very easy.

The solution is deployed on the cloud. The tool can be deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in a few seconds.

Speaking about whether I have seen an ROI from using the tool, I would say that I know that it contains life cycle policies.

The tool's price is a little bit high, but it is reasonable.

The product is very deeply integrated with some of the tools that I use in my company. Amazon S3 is a part of the platform applications that we create and provide to customers.

I recommend the tool to others.

I rate the tool a seven to eight out of ten.
