Amazon S3 Reviews

We use this solution as readily available internet storage.

We find the archival capabilities of this solution quite valuable, because we can have set policies of exactly when, and what to archive. 

We would like to see improvement in the ability to moves files within this solution. At present the process is not straightforward, and requires us to download files to our micro service service before then uploading into the solution. In addition, the transfer bit rate for the process is very slow.

We have been working with this solution for around five years.

We have found this to be a very stable solution.

This is a very scalable solution.

We have found the technical support for this product to be pretty good.

We would recommend potential users of this solution to ensure they have micro-services in place, in order to carry out data transfers.

We would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.

We use this solution for storing the input-output of our processing. We are customers of Amazon. 

Version control is great, it means we can store incremental data, and get high availability and fault tolerance. If we accidentally delete something we can recover it by using S3. It also enables the option of reverting to old files. 

The read drive speed is not as fast as it should be. If we want to access data, we should be able to do it quickly. 

I've been using this solution for five years. 

The solution is scalable, there are no limitations on storage. There are around 10,000 users in the company. 

Amazon provides good documentation for this solution so we've never contacted technical support. 

The initial setup is easy. It just requires logging in to AWS, and it's available.

This is a pay-as-you-use, on-demand service. It's not very expensive. 

We went with S3 because of its high availability, fault tolerance and scalability. Those are the three main reasons we chose it. 

We are using Amazon S3  for short-term or long-term storage.

The most valuable features of the Amazon S3 are its ease of use and integration

Amazon S3 could improve the limitation on how much data can be stored.

I have been using Amazon S3 for approximately two years.

Amazon S3 is stable.

The scalability of Amazon S3 is good.

Our company uses Amazon S3 as the main target backup solution.

I did not use the support from Amazon S3 because we never faced any challenges.

I have used other similar solutions to Amazon S3, but they are not comparable.

The initial setup of Amazon S3 is straightforward, the process took a few minutes.

We did the implementation of Amazon S3 in-house. We used one engineer for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

I have seen a return on investment. The cost is based on a consumption-based model, you only pay for your usage.

The price of Amazon S3 depends on various variables. However, the price overall is fair.

I rate Amazon S3 a nine out of ten.

When we develop applications, it generates files. We use Amazon S3 as a backup and storage solution. 

The product helps to define storage type based on the requirement. 

Amazon S3 should have more frequent updates. 

I have been working with the product for two years. 

Amazon S3 is stable. 

My company has around 100 users for Amazon S3. It is scalable and easy to increase or change configuration. 

Amazon S3's tech support provides necessary solutions and answers to our problems. 

Positive

The tool's deployment is easy. It comes with guided instructions, which makes it easy to monitor and manage. The tool's deployment took 30 minutes to complete. We have one AWS engineer to help us implement the tool on the cloud. 

I did the deployment myself. 

The tool's licensing costs are monthly and cheap. 

We have a data warehouse and a data lake using Amazon S3. Additionally, we use it for application streaming.

We have our computer systems that have storage but we do use the cloud storage available from Amazon S3. However, it depends on the type of data we have and whether we use the cloud or not.

The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is its flexibility as a solution to suit many different use cases.

I have been using Amazon S3 for approximately six years.

Two third of our company use this solution.

The support is better than other cloud providers but sometimes it takes a while to have a resolution to our issues.

I rate the support from Amazon S3 a seven out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup of Amazon S3 was straightforward.

I rate the initial setup of Amazon S3 a ten out of ten.

We have a few developers that we use for deployment.

The solution is worth the money and we have seen an ROI. However, it is not our primary goal. We are trying to optimize different areas. 

Amazon S3 is a cost-effective solution compared to the others.

I rate the price of Amazon S3 a two out of ten.

I rate Amazon S3 a nine out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is for storage.

The most valuable feature of the solution is auto-scaling.

I would like to see an easier setup that doesn't require as much training.

I have been using the solution for three years.

It is stable.

The solution auto-scales so it is easily scalable.

The initial setup is straightforward as long as you are familiar with the cloud services.

The cost varies based on the type of subscription you chose.

Currently, I use the solution for my phishing server and I pay $15 per month.

Before choosing the solution I evaluated DigitalOcean.

I rate the solution nine out of ten.

I suggest if you are interested in using the solution you should also use the other services offered by Amazon such as AWS, and EC2 so you have access to everything in one place.

Auto-scaling is very costly if you don't manage to control it. You need to have good training and understanding of the solution.

Our company uses the solution for deep CI backups. We have thousands of customers who use the solution and access our application. 

The solution is good and includes all the features we expect. 

The solution's pricing should be modified to automatically expand storage based on prior usage. For example, our monthly usage is very low so our storage allotment should be increased by 200%.

I have been using the solution for five years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

Technical support is good so I rate it them a nine out of ten. 

Positive

I did not previously use another solution. 

The setup is very easy. 

The pricing depends on your region and is reasonable. For example, the price per gigabyte is .0025 in the South Pacific and .0023 in Europe.  

We use the solution and EC2 with similar frequency depending on use case. 

I recommend the solution and rate it a nine out of ten. 

Our company has 30 staff members who use the solution for data storage. 

Uploads are secure and occur instantly.

The solution provides good data movement from Snowball to the S3 bucket. 

It is difficult to retrieve files in an emergency because the public cloud has data limits for immediate downloads so they often take twelve hours. We need better, immediate control of our content. 

The cloud and on-premises solutions should sync all data. 

Infrastructure services could be improved to provide free education related to the solution's features. For example, developers who do not have experience building games could learn how to do so with free support. 

I have been using the solution for nine years. 

The solution is very stable and I rate it an eight out of ten. 

The solution is scalable and there are no limits on data uploads. We upload four TB of data a day. 

Technical support can be challenging because we have to work through account managers. For urgent situations, our tech team contacts support to get assistance. 

I rate support a four out of ten. 

Neutral

The initial setup and creating buckets are very simple. 

We implemented the solution in-house. 

Not many products in the market beat the solution in terms of quality or price. 

The solution charges for data downloads. 

We currently use the public cloud but want to use a private cloud because there are speed issues when retrieving files in an emergency. For example, retrieving emergency video files might take twelve hours because the cloud will not allow immediate downloads. A private cloud will allow us to retrieve files immediately without a data limit. 

We are in talks with GreenLake, Atlassian, and Dell to find the best solution that optimizes our cost. There is a retrieval cost associated with the public cloud so we want to optimize these costs and switch to a private cloud. 

The solution offers great quality and price. We are closely evaluating the cost of other solutions to determine if it is worth it to move from a solution that works well for us. 

Cost is a primary concern because we manage three petabits of data. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
