Enhanced data security with seamless integration and static website capabilities
S3 is a great service offering numerous possibilities. It allows for storing objects and files of various types. I appreciate its capability to create static websites and integrate with services like CloudFront, EC2, and DynamoDB. Despite being focused on security, I leverage features such as cryptography and integration with CloudTrail.

Cons

"The pricing for Amazon S3 needs improvement. Another area for improvement is the file size change because it has some limitations that require more time for rendering, especially if you're not merely uploading a file, but reviewing that file, too."
"The service could improve by offering mobile backups, which would be great since using Google Backup is costly."
"The upload speed for data and documents is sometimes slow."

"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."

"The solution needs to add an archive function."

"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
