It's very straightforward and easy to implement.""It's good for starting up because you only pay for what you use.""Amazon S3 is easily accessible, fast and effective.

Cons
"Amazon S3 could improve the limitation on how much data can be stored.""The solution requires you to buy and use Amazon services.""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.""The major challenge is the inability to create more than ten policies.""The console could be improved - it's not very user friendly for non-technical guys.""Technical support could have a faster response time.""The pricing for Amazon S3 needs improvement. Another area for improvement is the file size change because it has some limitations that require more time for rendering, especially if you're not merely uploading a file, but reviewing that file, too.""I would like to see the API for beginners improved because it is hard to understand."

More Amazon S3 Cons →

"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution.""We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups.""We cannot use the product with other brands.""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.""They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment.""The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."

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."

    Overview

    Amazon Simple Storage Service is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

    Amazon S3 has a simple web services interface that you can use to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.

    Oracle Database Backup Service is a secure, scalable, on-demand solution for storing Oracle Database backups in Oracle Cloud.

    Oracle databases are backed up to Oracle Database Backup Service using the Oracle Database Cloud Backup Module. The module is available from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and is tightly integrated with Recovery Manager (RMAN), so you can continue to use familiar RMAN commands for backup and restore operations.
