If you want to get going quickly, you should use it. It's very easy to set up the console. If you do it from the AWS console, they guide you through the whole process. It's pretty easy. We did it through Terraform because we do all of our infrastructure through Terraform. That took a bit longer, but it was still easy. You are not tied into it forever. It's month to month or at least day to day. So, if you want to replace it with your own cheaper solution at any point, you can always do that. I'd rate it a nine out of ten. The positives would be that we never had to worry about it, and it always just works. The only downside is the cost.
I would rate AWS Transfer for SFTP a six out of ten. I would recommend the solution but there are other tools in the market with better UI.
