Vagner Martins - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to use, very intuitive, fast, and quite flexible."
"My company uses Amazon S3 by default for every single project. I like that you can use it for storing different file formats. Amazon S3 is also the easiest to use compared to other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon S3 for me is static deployment; it doesn't charge much, and I can integrate CloudFront for DNS and routing. It is very useful and affordable."
"The most valuable feature of the product is storage classes."
"Set up a performance and stress-based test suite to measure the endurance of a web application on Amazon AWS cloud system using S3 as the back-end storage infrastructure."
"The integration with Cloudfront helps in fetching the static phase and default phases in case our actual service is down."
"It's reliable and stable."
"We've had no issues with stability."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"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."
"It's a scalable product."
"The interface is good."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
 

Cons

"I would like there to be more support without needing to use Transfer Family."
"Amazon S3 could improve the performance reports. It would be a benefit if they were more comprehensive."
"The support is better than other cloud providers but sometimes it takes a while to have a resolution to our issues."
"Sometimes, there is latency in getting data, especially if the file size is large."
"Amazon S3 should have more frequent updates."
"The query size in Amazon S3 has room for improvement because it's limited. Querying on Amazon S3 is also expensive with Amazon Athena, so that's another area for improvement in the solution."
"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."
"Amazon S3 needs to simplify the backup features."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution has reasonable pricing and a low cost."
"The cost is based on the amount of storage required and if we exceed the data transfer rate across regions."
"The cost of Amazon S3 is good. The pricing model is based on the usage of the solution."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. I rate it a six to seven out of ten."

"The tool's licensing costs are monthly and cheap."
"I use the tool's free tier. I believe that there is a need to make annual payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product."

"The platform is expensive."
