"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.""One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access.

Cons
"It would be good if the solution added a button to increase the size and make the EC2 machine recognize the increased capacity of the EBS.""It is hard to access EBS volumes in different Availability Zones (AZs) because most EBS volumes are created in a single AZ.""There is room for improvement in terms of file storage. Recently, we had a scenario in which, in a file share, we had increased the IOPS capacity; this was for the production environment.""The setup could be easier.""I think performance can be improved.""Amazon EBS needs to improve its user interface for data transactions.""The features could be improved.""The cost of using EBS is high compared to other cloud vendors such as Tencent Cloud or CARI Cloud. Some costs are generated immediately and some are likely to increase."

More Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) Cons →

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security.""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."
