Amazon FSx Reviews & Product Details

Amazon FSx provides a family of fully managed file systems optimized for different enterprise workloads, including FSx for Windows File Server, FSx for NetApp ONTAP, FSx for Lustre, and FSx for OpenZFS. I like that each option is purpose-built for a specific use case while providing consistent AWS management, security, backups, encryption, monitoring, and scaling.

Provisioning storage is straightforward, and native integration with EC2, EKS, ECS, WorkSpaces, and enterprise applications simplifies deployment. The managed nature of the service significantly reduces storage administration while providing high availability and enterprise-grade performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Makes perfect sense for cloud first customer. - other support tools to manage and monitor file activity for security operation. Tools will grow aggressively to meet security, compliance requirements. Although the pricing is sometimes a little steep compared to the use case - There is no light version or easy version. If you compare it to other cloud storage solutions which are improving for a lower price, it's sometimes a hard sell to say, "This is what you need, however, it's also going to cost you way more than the alternatives." You can say, "We can build you something custom that's going to cost you less with more headache." For customers adopting the cloud, that high price is sometimes hard. However, there have been some problems. They've been a little slow on adding things that we use on-premise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
