"Solid storage but a bit of a maze to set up"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

The best part is definitely the reliability. I use it for storing all my team's project files and honestly, it never goes down. Once it's running, you just forget about it and it works. Also, the speed for uploading and downloading big files is much better than other stuff we tried before. It's great that it scales automatically so I don't have to worry about running out of space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

The interface is just... too much. If you're not a pro, finding specific settings in the console feels like a puzzle. Also the pricing is super confusing. It's hard to predict how much we're gonna pay at the end of the month because of all those extra fees for data transfer and requests. I wish it was more straightforward for a regular user who just wants to store stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had a big problem with keeping our project backups safe and easy to access for everyone in the company. Before AWS, we used some local drives and it was a mess when someone was working from home. Now, everything is in one place in the cloud. It solved our "where is that file" issue and gave us peace of mind that nothing will get lost if a laptop breaks. It just makes collaboration much smoother for a remote team like ours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
