Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) Reviews & Product Details

Unlimited Storage - a single object in a bucket can hold up to 5 Terabytes of data! This allows me to store anything I want on the Cloud regardless of its size.

All data in my Amazon S3 is private - I am the only one who can access them with the login credentials, and I don't need to worry about my data landing in the wrong hands.

It's also worth noting that data is stored redundantly in the Amazon S3, so I can easily retrieve the backup copy in case of data loss.

The most common benefit to everyone is that you can access your data anywhere, anytime, provided you are connected to the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside of Amazon S3 is the billing. Even though it provides pay-as-you-go services, it is still not informative enough on what functionalities you will subscribe to, and you may end up launching unrequired functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I pay for what I use as it uses pay-per-use pricing model. Also, if I go for reservedinstances, I get a high discount. Also, it has a super performance - I can't remember it going down. Apart from pricing and performance, the services it offers is commendable. It also offers free Identity and Access Management service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To succesfully and efficiently use AWS Cloud, we need an expert who can look after the infra and efficiently use the instances and hence control the money spent. It carries a lot of documentation as compared to Azure and hence a dedicated resource is requried to take care of it. Also, not anyone can start deploying to it without having a robust cloud knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
