Vagner Martins - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced data security with seamless integration and static website capabilities
S3 is a great service offering numerous possibilities. It allows for storing objects and files of various types. I appreciate its capability to create static websites and integrate with services like CloudFront, EC2, and DynamoDB. Despite being focused on security, I leverage features such as cryptography and integration with CloudTrail.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are compatibility and reliability."
"S3 is a great service offering numerous possibilities."
"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."
"You don't have to specify your clone, availability clone, or your locations. Everything's over there. They have a receipt for the instance where we have to select the exact location of what we are clicking. The S3 storage capacity is high, and the price is reasonable."
"The product is easy to use."
"One of the benefits is being a global service, so it can be accessed from anywhere."
"Cloud infrastructure is the most valuable feature."
"Amazon S3 is a storage bucket service with good stability."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"It's a scalable product."
"The interface is good."
 

Cons

"It is expensive for storing."
"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 would be good if Amazon S3 had an API to get screenshots or video streaming continuously."
"The major challenge is the inability to create more than ten policies."
"Amazon S3 could improve by having more frequent updates."
"Amazon S3's unit of measure for expansion should be smaller."
"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."
"The down side is the web app should be aware of all the features that S3 provides in order to leverage its full potential."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Amazon S3 is good. The pricing model is based on the usage of the solution."
"The cost is based on the amount of storage required and if we exceed the data transfer rate across regions."
"The price of the Amazon S3 is reasonable. There are not any licensing costs, they have a pay-as-you-use model."
"There is a license to use Amazon S3."
"The solution is very inexpensive at 50 cents per gigabyte, per month."
"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."
"I know it is very inexpensive compared to other solutions."
"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 only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
"The platform is expensive."
