The product has one of the best pricing in the market. It is very cost-efficient. The cost depends on the data we access. If we access a particular data regularly, we must pay for it. If we know that we will need the data after three to five years, we can store it in the archives, which will cost us less.
View full review »The cost of Amazon S3 could be better. The solution needs to be less costly. As the number of data increases, you'll pay more for Amazon S3. It's around $200, which is okay, but my company uses it less often. For a file storage solution, Amazon S3 is expensive, though it would still depend on the project. It's more of the storage charge that needs to be lowered. Usually, Amazon gives you up to five TB free. Suppose Amazon charges you $200, that's fine, but it doesn't feel very justifiable, though there's no question in terms of the abilities of Amazon S3.
There's no extra cost for Amazon S3 except for personal storage.
View full review »The cost is based on the amount of storage required and if we exceed the data transfer rate across regions.
If we use an external encryption key and not the one included by AWS, the data transfer between the key server and our Amazon S3 server will incur a charge.

View full review »The pricing for Amazon S3 is reasonable, so price-wise, it's a seven out of ten.
View full review »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.
For pricing, I would give it a six or seven out of ten.

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 know there are certainly monthly and yearly licensing plans, but I'm not sure which is more preferable. The yearly ones could probably be more affordable, but that's just a general suggestion.

Their prices are higher than say Microsoft Azure or Google. So AWS is very easy to use yet expensive.
Licensing is pay as you go. The more resources you use, the more you pay, however, they seem to be more costly than competitors.

I am not sure about the pricing. I have seen the pricing on AWS, but I believe it's a discount price for organizations. I wouldn't know because that is something confidential between the company and AWS.

The price of the Amazon S3 is reasonable. There are not any licensing costs, they have a pay-as-you-use model.
When backups are more than 6 months old, I would recommend keeping less of them and storing the remaining ones in Glacier (long-term, cheaper storage).

HAPPY BHALLA

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.
View full review »Even though it appears cheap, be careful on how you use it. Optimizing early will save money spent on storage and resources long term, so make it part of the design process. The beauty is you can control it at a very fine level.
