Secure file sharing has protected global storage and improves confidence with external partners
The best features Antivirus for Amazon S3 offers include that it is really a built-in feature which is really great, as you don't have to do anything extra, there's no operational complexity or cost overhead associated with it, and because it's a managed solution, it's easy for us to configure policies as S3 buckets are created globally and make sure they have the necessary virus protection as needed. The simplicity and ease of policy configuration have helped my team day-to-day because, as it is part of the AWS ecosystem, I don't need to really hire a separate skill set to configure this service, and moreover, if I use the console, all the features are available to me at a click, and I can also programmatically control it, making configuring the antivirus part of setting S3 objects rather than setting up a separate service altogether on top of S3.

Migration to cloud has cut database costs and simplified shared storage but still needs lower latency
The best features FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC offers include shared storage, which is critical because for on-premise Oracle high availability clusters, I do not need FlashGrid. When I migrate to the public cloud, I need FlashGrid to provide that shared storage. It is easy to migrate from on-premise to cloud because the Oracle architecture does not change; the only difference is that in the public cloud, shared storage block was not available, but FlashGrid provides that feature to the Oracle RAC cluster. FlashGrid Cluster for Oracle RAC has positively impacted my organization cost-wise because by migrating to the cloud from my on-premise data center, I could consolidate the price structure for my storage and compute needs. Oracle RAC was the bottleneck for that because previously, without FlashGrid, I could not configure Oracle RAC in the public cloud, but with FlashGrid, I managed to consolidate costs for Oracle RAC infrastructure in the cloud. After migrating with FlashGrid, I have a substantial presence of Oracle RAC clusters in my data centers, around 50 RAC clusters across the U.S., and each was costing around $100,000 per year per cluster. However, I was able to migrate 25 of those clusters to the public cloud using FlashGrid, and the cost was reduced to $50,000 for those clusters, meaning I saved $50,000 per annum for the 25 instances. After installing and configuring FlashGrid in AWS cloud, I was able to reduce the storage cost substantially compared to my on-premise data center storage. I saved $50,000 per Oracle RAC cluster per annum using FlashGrid, which includes both storage cost, compute cost, and also manpower cost.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"In my experience, the best feature Antivirus for Amazon S3 offers is increased security."
"If you want your S3 bucket to be secure and virus-free, you can use Antivirus for Amazon S3; it will be very fast in scanning your files, will give alerts if any issues arise, and will delete the viruses and clean them from your bucket."
"Antivirus scanning has a clear positive impact on security, automation, and developer velocity in my organization."
"The advanced automatization and the isolated quarantine bucket have helped my workflow and security because I do not need to write my own scripts on Python and Lambda to operate with incidents, which saves us a lot of costs."
"Since using Antivirus for Amazon S3, I have seen that it is a very key feature for me as it improves compliance and also reduces risk."
"Antivirus for Amazon S3 has positively impacted my organization by giving us the confidence that we can really expose our S3 buckets to the external world without having to worry about security, and from a developer standpoint, we know that at any point in time globally if S3 buckets are created, we have templates that will automatically enforce the antivirus policies there, improving our overall security posture rather than compromising it because we do have a large footprint on S3."
"Antivirus for Amazon S3 offers some of the best features including deployment using Terraform, the ability to scan new and existing objects, very quick setup time, multiple engine support such as Sophos, CIS Premium, and CIS Secure, and extensive vendor support through many marketplaces."
"Integrating Amazon S3 antivirus scanning with our security monitoring systems has significantly streamlined my team's workflow and improved our response efficiency."
"The stability and performance of the cluster during testing were impressive."
"I saved $50,000 per Oracle RAC cluster per annum using FlashGrid, which includes both storage cost, compute cost, and also manpower cost."
 

Cons

"The reporting part could be a bit more detailed."
"However, it does not achieve a perfect score of ten due to real scaling cliffs when operating at high volumes that can catch you off guard."
"The improvement area for Antivirus for Amazon S3 that we are facing is with large-scale file systems; it should be distributed and support a large scale of data."
"One limitation I have identified is that advanced customizations can be tricky with fully managed solutions for Antivirus for Amazon S3."
"I think Antivirus for Amazon S3 can be improved by including patches over time and adding forensic analysis of data to show where viruses may have been incorporated."
"Antivirus for Amazon S3 could be improved by addressing that it is a little bit complicated to set up because you have to deploy it via CloudFormation or Terraform, and it can be a little bit difficult trying to troubleshoot the image or container issues."
"There are no major issues, but if the company could work on deployment features as well as cost-effectiveness and some specific features that require licensing needs, it would be really helpful."
"Overall, Antivirus for Amazon S3 works well, but there are a few areas where it could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the area of migration or integration with existing on-premises infrastructure."
"One weakness is that there might be performance degradation once I install Oracle RAC in the public cloud using FlashGrid; that is one weakness I have encountered after migrating to the public cloud with FlashGrid."
