"Excellent storage service"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

Amazon Simple storage Service S3 bucket offers a reliable storage service to all its clients. The best part about Amazon S3 storage bucket is that, you can access the files stored in the bucket anywhere at anytime. You can also extend the storage space when needed. That's really helpful for most of our projects! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There are few cons when we choose Amazon Storage Service, that is, the files which we store in the bucket should be of a specific type. Amazon S3 bucket allows you to deploy files only of a certain extension type. This becomes tedious when large files from the servers are to be uploaded in the bucket.

"AWS is quite good amongst the top 3 cloud platforms and has lot of features and functionality"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

One of the biggest advantages of using AWS is the usability - it's quite easier to use and navigate compared to the other cloud providers and talking about the cost involved when you compare it with the other players in the market it is relatively cost-effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One of the major downsides is the limited control that you have and the downtimes which are usually unexpected but again, it varies from region to region and the technical support fee as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS S3 is a time saver, easy, safe and secure."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

AWS S3 is very easy to use and secure to maintain data privacy and data access norms. S3 buckets can be accessed from different locations. Anyone can make a cross-region replica of S3 buckets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are allowed to use only ., &, - these symbols while naming a bucket. We cannot use the same bucket name if it is used anywhere else on S3 and also, for 24 hrs after someone deleted it. If we want to store a file having a size of more than 5 TB, we have to partition the data into 2 separate files, to make the data available on S3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"a service worth its cost"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

The most helpful thing was procuring a cloud server and configuring it very quickly within few minutes. This reduced our work of 7-10 days to 1-2 days only that too with much less efforts and tensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ui sometimes takes time to load features due to slow internet connections. This sometimes is very painful but nothing can be done. If we are having a lite version with minimal features and support for those times, it would be of great help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS needs to make improvements to its cloud construction tool and interface. The UI's inconsistent offerings are just amateurishly exceptional. I think this is only the thing that AWS need to improve else fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that the documentation for AWS is bloated up and we could have to the point documents for most frequent activities. It is somewhat time taking for begineers and it takes quite a time to onboard new people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good customer support and easy interface.
