Amazon S3 Reviews

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.

We are using Amazon services to create the SSX and other services.

Cloud infrastructure is the most valuable feature.

We are already utilizing cloud services, and Amazon is providing us with an abundance of options. As we move forward, we must ensure that we are obtaining the best value for our money when it comes to pricing. The price of Amazon S3 has room for improvement.

The current solution is not ideal, as it requires us to log into multiple dashboards and technical services. To improve our centralized monitoring or central idea, we need to create a single centralized system that can provide access to all services.

The stability of the solution has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for three years.

I give the stability a seven out of ten.

I give the scalability an eight out of ten.

We have 50 people using the solution.

The technical support team is good.

Most businesses have different needs, so the solutions we use vary depending on the context and requirements. We can utilize different approaches based on specific circumstances. The initial setup depends on the environment.

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

I believe that cloud-based services such as cloud computing and cloud security from Amazon's pipeline services are becoming increasingly popular. These services provide a great technological infrastructure for us and I have no doubts or reservations about them.

We use the solution for data blocking and analysis. It is also used as a storage solution, gene access and maintaining access.

The most valuable features are VNet, virtual machines, and Elastic Kubernetes Service.

We have been using this solution for eight years and are using the latest version. It can be deployed anywhere. We can use a console and data from and on-premises.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution because it is low latency. We have several users and plan to increase usage in the future.

I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

We used a storage account in Azure and Data Lake.

The initial setup was straightforward. We use Terraform for deployment, and we only need one person for deployment.

We have seen a return on investment because we do not pay overhead costs.

It is expensive for storing, but it is way cheaper for retrieval.

We evaluated block storage.

I rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for file storage. 

It's a very good solution that makes it easy to save. 

It is easy to set up, and it's cheap. We have to pay as long as it's used, however, it's not so expensive. 

The product can scale.

It's reliable and stable.

My company is in several regions with some offices in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. 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. If we could have a much faster connection, it would be better.

While the price is pretty cheap, it could always be less costly.

I've been using the solution for about three or four years. 

It's very stable and reliable. I'd rate stability almost ten out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

We have a team of ten on the solution right now. We may increase usage in the future. 

It's a scalable solution. I'd rate it eight out of ten in terms of the ability to expand. 

I've never used support. I'm not in a position to ask for AMazon support. Therefore, I cannot speak to their level of service.

We were only on-premises previously. We've never used a different cloud solution. 

This is a very simple product to set up. It's not overly difficult. The process is quite clear and straightforward. 

The deployment times vary from project to project. Sometimes, you can deploy everything in a day. Sometimes it takes a week. Checking sessions usually take some time. 

We have witnessed an ROI while using the solution. 

The pricing is very reasonable. We do not find it expensive at all. 

We pay a monthly licensing fee.

I'd rate the pricing five out of ten.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd recommend it to other companies or users.
