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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the product is storage classes."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"The most valuable feature is the automated replication of the data."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon S3 is its versioning feature. I also like that you can create pre-signed URLs on the solution."
"An important feature of the Amazon S3's system is that it offers encryption while the files are at rest. This is crucial in ensuring the security of the files being restored and addressing potential security risks. That's what I would emphasize."
"The solution's peak-up time is good."
"Amazon S3 is easily scalable and provides fantastic performance, especially in comparison to other cloud solutions like OCI and Azure."
"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."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"The interface is good."
"It's a scalable product."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
 

Cons

"There is a limitation with the data upload size, such as the five terabytes restriction. I would like to see an increase in the data upload limit, similar to DynamoDB, where there is no data limit."
"They could always increase object storage ability."
"Amazon S3 needs to simplify the backup features."
"When we need to find the queries there is no user interface, it is the only textual format that is bulky. If we need some data we will use Athena for queries and we will get results. When comparing this solution to others, such as DataDog, they provide a wonderful UI, and user-friendly dashboards, and many other features that this solution is lacking."
"Maybe they need to expand their range of physical locations."
"I would like there to be more support without needing to use Transfer Family."
"The tool's speed is comparatively low, especially considering that there are some other services where we can store data, like EBS."
"Sometimes, there is latency in getting data, especially if the file size is large. This could be improved."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."

"There is a license to use Amazon S3."

"The cost is based on the amount of storage required and if we exceed the data transfer rate across regions."
