The initial setup of Amazon S3 is straightforward, the process took a few minutes.

We did the implementation of Amazon S3 in-house. We used one engineer for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

I have seen a return on investment. The cost is based on a consumption-based model, you only pay for your usage.

The price of Amazon S3 depends on various variables. However, the price overall is fair.

I rate Amazon S3 a nine out of ten.

Amazon S3 is our file storage solution. We use it for all of the backups of our storage and databases.

The most useful features of Amazon S3 are the intelligent multipart upload.

Amazon S3 could improve by being more secure.

I have been using Amazon S3 for approximately five years.

Amazon S3 is a stable solution.

I have found Amazon S3 very scalable, you can scale it on the fly and it is very easy to do.

Most all the cloud applications that are being used by our developer are using Amazon S3. More than 200 people are using this solution. At this moment we do not plan to increase usage.

I have used the support from Amazon S3 multiple times and they are good.

I have not used any other similar solution to  Amazon S3.

The initial setup of Amazon S3 is straightforward and the documentation is very good. You can do the setup of Amazon S3 in a few minutes.

If users are looking for highly scalable, competent solutions, then Amazon S3 would be a good choice.

I rate Amazon S3 a nine out of ten.

I use Amazon S3 mainly for daily backups of our database.

Amazon S3 has helped our organization because the daily backups can be done automatically with automation. We do not have to spend time on it and I am confident with Amazon S3 in its ability to recover our data.

Amazon S3 is easy to use and it is beneficial to use the CLI to make the backups. Since I use the CLI I do not have to do it on a web portal which is a big advantage because everything can be automatized. Automation can be done very well in Amazon S3.

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 have been using Amazon S3 for a long time. I used the latest version because the CLI is normally updated.

The stability of the Amazon S3 is good.

The scalability of Amazon S3 is great.

We are a small company and we have approximately five developers that use Amazon S3. We use the solution on a daily basis for hourly backups.

I have used the support from Amazon S3 a long time ago, I have not needed much help. When I did have contact with them there were times it took a while for a response.

I would rate the technical support of Amazon S3 a three out of five.

Positive

The main difference from other solutions I have used is Amazon is the leader, and it has a very large number of zones and capacity, while others can be smaller and can have different options. Not all the options that are available in Amazon S3 are offered by other competitors, but for the main features, most of them are working fine. I have been evaluating two different solutions, one from a French cloud-based company called Scaleway, and the other is peer-to-peer storage.

The installation was simple. Creating a new bucket and deploying it is very straightforward. To make the script deploy a new bucket takes approximately one hour. 

I would rate the initial setup of Amazon S3 a four out of five.

We did the implementation ourselves and we have two developers that do the maintenance of the solution.

The return on investment has been very good because the backups of our database are critical for our business to operate.

I would rate the return on investment of Amazon S3 a four out of five.

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).

I have evaluated other options.

My advice to others is to separate the buckets project, not to put everything in the same bucket, and be sure to implement IAM rules to avoid problems between users and not to lose any backups. The implementation process is important. 

I rate Amazon S3 an eight out of ten.

We use Amazon S3 to store data.

Amazon S3 is a storage bucket service with good stability.

The solution's data transfer speed could be improved.

I have been using Amazon S3 for more than three years.

Amazon S3 is an easy-to-scale solution.

Amazon S3 is a cheap solution.

I am using the latest version of Amazon S3. Amazon S3 is a reliable and secure storage bucket service that stores data.

Overall, I rate Amazon S3 a nine out of ten.

We use Amazon S3 for a file storing system. The solution is cloud-based.

We're working with 10-15 applications.

The most valuable feature is the sharing capabilities.

I would like there to be more support without needing to use Transfer Family. 

I have used Amazon S3 for about five years but not at my current organization.

I would rate the stability as eight out of ten.

The scalability is good.

I have also used Azure.

The price is okay.

I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

I would recommend Amazon S3 if you have the use case for it, but Azure provides a similar service.

We use the solution to store deployment logs and tech information.

The solution is simple and affordable to use. The solution's API Integration requests are straightforward; we just have to integrate and acquire the service.

They should improve in the area of metadata curation. Sometimes we open metadata via open source or ground stations in the area. They should design some features with improved performance where we can gain insights as well. It will help in maintaining the solution considering the cost.

It would be great if they get a new feature with the QV mechanism.

We have been using the solution for seven or eight years.

I rate the solution's stability as a ten.

It is a very scalable solution. I have 100-300 colleagues using the solution.

The setup was straightforward. We had an engineer help us establish configuration between the backend and the object. We had to work on the permissions, and the rest was easy. 

We have an in-house engineering team. They are skilled in doing the entire setup.

It's worth the price considering its functionality.

I advise others to have a support team. They should ensure the best practices for transferring the use history from AWS onto other applications via the cloud. It's very easy to find those actions. Most importantly, they must be very careful about the solution's security. They should plan the automation model right, ensuring to maintain the surface area for security. Otherwise, they have nothing to worry about as the solution is well established.

I rate the solution as a ten.

We use it for Dollar Bank to provide them with Telematics and to transport IoT solutions. We host our full term on X-ray and the data we receive from the devices is put into the Amazon S3 bucket by using the Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. The data in the Amazon S3 bucket is synced into Google BigFix.

The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 is storage, which provides a personal capacity. Besides, we can send an analytical query on the data storage side using Aetna as a bucket. It also allows us to expose the data and provide data access depending on who we want to share it with. We can also specify how we want to sort the data inside, in a numerical format or any other format.

An encryption mechanism and storage optimization could be added.

I have been using Amazon S3 for around four years now.

The product is pretty stable. I do not recollect facing any issues with the solution.

Amazon S3 is pretty scalable. I would give it a nine out of ten.

Amazon’s technical support team is awesome. I have interacted with Microsoft Virtual Technical support but the support provided by Amazon is very good.

Positive

I previously used AWS service and SQS but it had a lot of issues.

The initial setup was simple.

For pricing, I would give it a six or seven out of ten.

The analytical capability can be improved.

I would give the solution an eight out of ten.

We are using the solution to secure the content. 

The solution's most valuable feature is its Uptime availability, especially for the cloud version. Its peak uptime is good. It offers 99.9% availability.

The Folder Access policy needs improvement. They should make it much more user-friendly, then it will be fine. The major challenge is the inability to create more than ten policies. When we want to create folder access, they provide some policy and then give the folder access. There should be an option to have a sub-folder for each folder. They should provide a distribution of access. Presently, we can't access all subfolders at a time.

We have been using the solution for three years now.

I rate the solution's stability as a ten.

The scalability of the solution is ten out of ten. We have more than fifty users of the solution at our company.

When we raise the ticket, we get a response within five to seven days. There needs some improvement.

Neutral

The setup process is simple as we are using the cloud solution. We configured the setting as per our requirements.

I rate the solution as one for pricing. It is expensive but much more secure.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it as a nine out of ten.

We use this solution as readily available internet storage.

We find the archival capabilities of this solution quite valuable, because we can have set policies of exactly when, and what to archive. 

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.

We have been working with this solution for around five years.

We have found this to be a very stable solution.

This is a very scalable solution.

We have found the technical support for this product to be pretty good.

We would recommend potential users of this solution to ensure they have micro-services in place, in order to carry out data transfers.

We would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.
