"Exceptional Performance and Reliability with Amazon EBS"
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)?

As a long-time user of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), I've been consistently impressed with its performance and reliability. What I like best about EBS is its seamless integration with EC2, providing high durability for our block storage volumes. The ability to scale up or down quickly and efficiently has been a game-changer for our dynamic workloads.

The provisioned IOPS (SSD) volumes have provided us with the high throughput and low latency needed for our demanding applications. It's been incredibly effective for our database-driven applications, significantly reducing the latency and enhancing the overall user experience.

Another aspect I deeply appreciate is the snapshot feature. The ease with which we can take backups and restore data is outstanding. It has simplified our disaster recovery process, giving us peace of mind regarding data security and integrity.

Moreover, the pricing structure is transparent and predictable, which has been beneficial in managing our IT budget. With Amazon EBS, we've been able to optimize our storage costs without compromising on performance.

In conclusion, Amazon EBS stands out for its robustness and versatility. Whether it's for enterprise-level applications or smaller projects, it offers a reliable and efficient solution for block storage needs. I would highly recommend Amazon EBS to anyone looking for a dependable and scalable storage solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)?

Setting up and managing EBS efficiently might require a deeper level of technical expertise in AWS services, which can be a barrier for less experienced users or smaller organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"EBS gives flexible control over storage and costs int he AWS environment."
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)?

Without a doubt, the best feature of EBS is the ability to add storage to a volume on the fly, without having to take anything down. Sure, we've had this ability with LVM on stand alone systems, if you've got the extra storage available, and on-prem fibre-channel connected (and iSCSI) storage farms allow similar capabilities, but with EBS in a cloud environment you don't have to worry about if you've got available storage unallocated... AWS always has available storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)?

I'd like better disclosure when configuring EBS among various volume types of what the costs are going to be. This is particularly important when selecting the type of backing storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
