Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution auto-scales so it is easily scalable.""The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is the data transfer acceleration because it can enable fast, easy, and secure data transfer.""The most valuable feature is the sharing capabilities.""The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is storage, which provides a personal capacity.""Amazon S3's best features are its reliability and capacity to expand.""We find the archival capabilities of this solution quite valuable, because we can have set policies of exactly when, and what to archive.""The most valuable features are VNet, virtual machines, and Elastic Kubernetes Service.""The most valuable feature is the storage."

More Amazon S3 Pros →

"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features.""The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use.""The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."

Cons
"We would like Amazon to reduce the price of storage.""Maybe it could be a bit cheaper.""Could include some additional security features.""The security model can be improved as it is a bit confusing.""I would like to see an easier setup that doesn't require as much training.""We need the mapping to Windows. That feature is needed in S3. That feature is in the Azure cloud where we can map it like a drive. We can map the cloud storage to the effort driving our Windows PC. But Amazon is not providing that feature for the S3 solution.""The read drive speed is not as fast as it should be.""The major challenge is the inability to create more than ten policies."

More Amazon S3 Cons →

"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks.""Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity.""Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "With S3 Standard, there is not a charge for deletion of objects."
  • "This solution has reasonable pricing and a low cost."
  • "The licensing is pay as you go, and I'm happy with the pricing."
  • "The cost of storage is cheap. However, the cost to have a better interface can get expensive. We are using Athena for this purpose and if we did some heavy queries the cost will start adding up. When the Athena query is running, it will scan the bucket and they charge for how many GBs we are going to scan. The function of scanning has a lot of costs attached to it, this is a negative point."
  • "The price of the Amazon S3 is low. The license model is based on what you use."
  • "The price of Amazon S3 depends on various variables. However, the price overall is fair."
  • "The price of Amazon S3 could be less expensive."
  • "The license of Amazon S3 is based on volume, capacity, and time. The overall price of the solution could improve. The support has to be added if you want it at an additional cost."
  • More Amazon S3 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We have a yearly subscription for the product."
  • "Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."
  • "Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
