"I find the cost-effective models particularly suitable for our needs."
"I've also used Azure's tool, and S3 is far more stable I haven't seen the same issues on AWS that I'm having on Azure. Amazon CloudFront is way faster. The websites are loading way faster than when you do it on Azure CDN."
"The most useful features of Amazon S3 are the intelligent multipart upload."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."

Cons

"Amazon S3 can improve by decreasing the overall costs."

"The security model can be improved as it is a bit confusing."
"AWS should provide more attractive and comprehensive documentation, especially while integrating Amazon S3 with other AWS services like Elemental MediaConvert."

"It is difficult to retrieve files in an emergency because the public cloud has data limits for immediate downloads."
"In terms of security, I struggled with setting permissions and access control initially."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
