Amazon S3 Reviews

We are using Amazon S3 for image and video files.

The most valuable features of Amazon S3 are compatibility and reliability.

Amazon S3 could improve by providing some type of storage notification.

I have been using Amazon S3 for approximately 18 months.

Amazon S3 is a stable solution.

The scalability of Amazon S3 is good.

We have approximately 500 people using the solution and plan to increase usage.

I have used the support from Amazon S3. The speed of the support could be faster.

The initial setup of Amazon S3 is straightforward. The time it took for implementation took approximately one week,

We used an integrator for the implementation of Amazon S3.

We have approximately three administrators that do the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

The price of Amazon S3 is competitive with other solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Amazon S3 a nine out of ten.

I use the solution for the storage of images and documents.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that I mostly used the tool's free tier version, so I like the fact that its cost is very low.

Recently, I was trying to clean up the data because I have a lot of old, unused objects and images. I am trying to identify the files with the highest sizes and determine if I need to keep them or delete them. I didn't find the user interface very friendly. Beyond 399 or 999 objects, the tool's user interface was not allowing me to use the sort option. I had to use various keywords to search phrases and shortlist them so that I got less than 399 objects and could use the sort option. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement.

I have been using Amazon S3 for around three years. I think two years back, I was in a different organization, which was an AWS partner. I am a customer of the tool.

It is a stable solution.

The solution's technical support is satisfactory. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

Positive

In my previous job, I used Sagemaker, but I don't use it currently. I have also used Amazon EC2 and CloudWatch for billing alerts or something that I might have set them up in the company.

The product's deployment phase is quite comfortable with no issues. The tool's maintenance part is fairly easy.

I don't use it that frequently, so I think it's too early to comment on the tool's pricing structure. Six months later, I may have more data related to the tool.

I can't comment on the pricing part of the product since I don't deal with a high workload for now.

I use the tool's free tier. I believe that there is a need to make annual payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product.

Speaking of the process for retrieving data with the help of the tool, I would say that it is used to just display images on a website. When the page is opened, it gets linked to images and I display it on the website using Amazon S3.

I did not face any performance issues with Amazon S3.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

My use case for Amazon S3 is storage, particularly for unstructured data.

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.

The query size in Amazon S3 has room for improvement because it's limited. Querying on Amazon S3 is also expensive with Amazon Athena, so that's another area for improvement in the solution.

I have two years of experience with Amazon S3. I've been using the solution continuously.

Regarding stability, I'm rating Amazon S3 eight out of ten.

My rating for Amazon S3 scalability is eight out of ten.

I didn't encounter any issues with Amazon S3, so I have yet to contact the technical support team.

Setting up Amazon S3 was very straightforward.

The ROI from Amazon S3 is good.

The pricing for Amazon S3 is reasonable, so price-wise, it's a seven out of ten.

In my company, one person deployed Amazon S3. That person is also in charge of maintenance.

There's a possibility of increasing Amazon S3 usage in the future. Still, that depends on how much GB my company uses. It depends on the use cases.

I advise anyone planning to implement Amazon S3 to stick to the basics and follow the documentation to learn how to set it up.

My rating for Amazon S3 is eight out of ten because it's a very good solution.

We predominantly use this solution for our data storage, primarily making DB backups. I'm a lead data engineer.

The product is easy to use, very intuitive, fast and quite flexible. We can manage access and controls using Amazon policies so it's very secure and provides secure implementation methods. All those features help our day-to-day processes and functionalities. 

File versioning could be improved and I'd like to see some additional security features.

I've been using this solution for five years. 

We haven't had any downtime in the years we've been using this product. We also have disaster recovery setups but haven't needed them.

Scalability is pretty good, we have over 100 plus users, and inherently all our applications interact with S3. We use it heavily, it's our main storage medium.

The tech support is very good. We had some help with the configuration and some of our niche use cases and more complex aspects of the implementation. Apart from that, we've rarely needed any S3 support because the UI and the functionality itself are straightforward so you don't need to go beyond the standard documentation provided.

We're a small organization and previously had an on-prem solution that was more expensive for us with a lot of overheads. It didn't make sense to continue using it. 

It's a simple deployment once you get the hang of it. We had two people managing the deployment. You can develop your own templates for repeated actions and automate repeat jobs. It's not complex. We're currently using more than 200 terabytes. We're using three different modes so we're using the solution extensively.

We were able to reduce our licensing costs by exploring the different storage classes and different lifecycle management policies. It's a very good tool to control your costs and automate a few of the routine tasks which typically take significant manual effort when you need to write ad-hoc jobs. The storage is quite cheap although there are some processes that bump up the cost. 

I use the solution to store data.

We can easily connect to the AWS resources. We can use the credentials to fetch data from other resources. It is easy to interact with other resources. The product can store large volumes of data. We can visualize the data on S3 using QuickSight. The tool is quickly able to read the data by other services. We can easily run the query and get the data.

The search option must be enabled in the UI to filter and retrieve files. The filter option must be provided within the directory. Users must be able to filter files based on the file name.

I have been using the solution for three years.

I rate the tool’s stability an eight and a half out of ten.

We have five to six data engineers, analysts, and scientists using the tool in our organization. We do not do any maintenance. I rate the tool’s scalability an eight out of ten.

The support is very helpful. I rate the support a seven to eight out of ten.

Neutral

We can use the data for analytical purposes. We can calculate the performance based on the season-wise data. We can also generate revenue. The analytics is beneficial for us.

Amazon S3 is a low-cost product. The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten.

I will recommend the tool to others. We can store large volumes of data and easily integrate the data with other resources. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use the tool for my product deployment. 

Amazon S3 is easily accessible, fast and effective. Its performance is good. 

The tool needs to improve its flexibility in support. 

I have been using the product for a couple of months. 

Amazon S3 is stable and reliable. Its resource utilization is also good. 

I rate the product's scalability an eight point five out of ten. My company has more than 200 users. 

Amazon S3's deployment takes some time. However, once you learn it, it's not complex. 

The tool's licensing costs are yearly. I rate it a six to seven out of ten. 

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten. Setting it up takes some time at the beginning, but it's reliable and stable once it's all set up.

We are very flexible with our use cases and it fits most clients.

The most valuable feature is the automated replication of the data. You can store things and they automatically replicate somewhere else. So if you have an issue, you have a backup, and that is very good. You can set up how often you want it backed up, and I find that extremely useful.

I would like to see the API for beginners improved because it is hard to understand. It is based on the idea of a container when most programmers just understand directories and subdirectories. For a beginner, the API is a bit confusing.

I have been working with Amazon S3 for the past four years

The solution is very stable.

The scalability is definitely present from hundreds to thousands depending on the client.

I have used other solutions in the past, but none of them are as scalable.

The initial setup If you have the experience is fairly simple. If you do not, then it is fairly complex.

I know it is very inexpensive compared to other solutions.

I would basically recommend that individuals just follow the guidelines AWS as they are very good. I would rate Amazon S3 an eight on a scale of one to ten.

Currently, I am a cloud solution architect. I consult with developers and set up the architecture needed to deploy a solution. If a solution needs to be deployed within AWS, we sit down with the client and discuss the services that are most appropriate for that solution and design the architecture, which is given to the review board for approval. The AWS services we consume are dependent on the solution. Users from various departments will use the solution, depending on what's being deployed there. 

We have cold storage here, and I think that's useful. When it comes to commercialization, it's cheaper to put data that you won't be using into the data storage. You only use a little bit of the data needed each day for your transition, so you pay less. 

There could be more flexibility in configuration to allow more ways to connect to outside the PPC.

I started using S3 at my previous company, so I have been using it for five years. 

S3 is very stable.

Amazon S3 is highly scalable.

I rate AWS support 10 out of 10. 

Positive

Setting up S3 is straightforward.  At first, it was difficult because I didn't know how to use the solution. Now it takes less than five minutes to deploy S3. 

A solution architect needs to create a plan for what needs to be deployed, and the developer will deploy the solution. Most of the engagement happens before the deployment when the architect and the developer come to an agreement about the approach. One person procures the services, and others will test them and put them into the live environment.

We deployed the solution with the help of a consultant, who helped us implement some of the heavier stuff in the data lake. However, we did the basic stuff in-house because we've got the VPC to do it ourselves. 

The licensing cost is not bad. However, you need an understanding of the solution you're deploying and the services running. You will save money by shutting down some of the services when they're not in use.

I rate Amazon S3 nine out of 10. It's an excellent product. I'm also working with it for my personal use. I'm putting my documents and pictures into the S3 bucket.
