We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Wasabi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"We find the archival capabilities of this solution quite valuable, because we can have set policies of exactly when, and what to archive."
"The tool helps us with data backup storage of payment files and helps us avoid issues with clients when we miss the data. For instance, in the payment file of my Google client, you can find details of one-to-one transactions like the payment information on the file header, payment ID, payment client ID, group headers, etc. We get these details into the file format of ISO which is the accepted format at JP Morgan & Chase. Once we get the file format, we process it through S3."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon S3 is its versioning feature. I also like that you can create pre-signed URLs on the solution."
"Amazon S3's best features are its reliability and capacity to expand."
"I used Amazon AWS/S3 solution to prove my concept before deploying it on real hardware. It was a great experience and was really scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is its flexibility as a solution to suit many different use cases."
"The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are the performance and hibernation data options. Additionally, there is a feature that provides faster website access that is helpful."
"We can store our videos on hot storage, allowing immediate access to them."
"The tool is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is its cost."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Basically, I set Wasabi up and forget it. I'll monitor it every once in a while just to make sure that it's working correctly."
"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is the backups."
"Wasabi is an easy-to-use solution."
"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 upload speed for data and documents is sometimes slow."
"The installation could be more straightforward for inexperienced users."
"The pricing and licensing are pretty complex."
"Could include some additional security features."
"The solution could improve by having a simpler way to have the detail size of a file in the CLI to be read or understood easier. Today, it's a little raw in the way the details are presented. You have to make some scripts and some modifications to be able to see the information properly of the size of a given bucket or the size of a file."
"I would like to see an easier setup that doesn't require as much training."
"Sometimes we have to concentrate networks to a certain location, like the EU, for example. Therefore, if we set S3 in the EU region from the Middle East or Africa, the latency is an issue and we find it hard to connect to that S3."
"Setting up users on the appliance should be improved."
"I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve."
"Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent."
"The solution’s user reporting could be improved."
"The solution must allow the extension of the retention period."
"The scalability could improve."
"The scalability could be improved."
