"Everyday use and importance of AWS services at workplace"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

It's been an amazing experience, I use AWS almost everyday, all the microservices that I work upon have are deployed on AWS k8s, use of Kinesis, Lambda, S3, Cloudformation, cloudwatch.

The best thing about AWS is the onboarding time is relatively very less, documentation is good enough. It's very reliable and have support team have been very helpful whenever I reached out with a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nothing much, maybe the documentation can be done in a more user friendly way, sometimes it gets a lot technical just to make understand what a service is meant to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great cloud for easy& fast use"

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

I passed my AWS Practitioner exam first time and I have this course to thank for that. My advice is do the extra reading in the resources sections and look around the AWS site for the Labs and do all of the Free Tier ones (the others will cost you something, so delete immediately after completing... also practice pricing by working out how much before hand)

Thanks to AWS and the instructors for the brilliant delivery of the course and the materials. Good luck to anyone taking this course, you won't regret it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Amazon AWS is ABSOLUTE TRASH!! they are clearly abusing their dominant position and fail to provide any service, they just take your money and don't care. All other - smaller - players are so much better. AVOID AT ALL COST Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A simple yet powerful cloud storage tool for your microservices based application."
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

Amazon S3 has provided us a very simple way to communicate between APIs which are cross functional. Meaning, if there are APIs in the upstream wants to send some data to downstream APIs, it can be done very easily with very less coding required. And the data can be processed accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The fact that the files uploaded into scality are removed after 15 days in some of the packages offered by Amazon. And there is no way to retrieve those. So if your work requires you to keep data for longer durations for auditing purpose, it is of no use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Cloud Solution Provider"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

Overall experience using AWS is excellent. AWS helps us to run seamlessly web applications and provide great business services. It provides a good level of security and data privacy which could be a bit harder to implement when implemented by self. Also, the fact that it takes just a few minutes process to run a VM and get your products deployed and ready for use. In AWS you can find almost everything, so one doesn't need to go to any other server to get things done. The tutorial videos provided are informative and easy to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There is nothing major, but I find the documentation to be a little bit intimidating and it might get a lot technical. For better usability, one has to have a strong knowledge of it. It could be more beneficial for a new user who has just started using AWS services if the documentation was slightly friendlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

The ease of use and the scalability of the tool are really amazing. We used it for multiple purposes in the organization and it is the backbone of all our services. We can't imagine our organization now without AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It would be really great if there are more tutorials available for building more complex use cases with ease. Also, we could really use some reusable libraries for existing solutions that we can simple plug and play with least customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything is magical on the cloud but still can be better"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)?

I think the scalability and control of what we can do and how quickly we can do with AWS is highly appreciatable. We have migrated data from Teradata to Snowflake using AWS as medium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sometimes the services take very long to load & there are unlimited possibilities of things and UI can be improved a lot. Also it requires a lot of services to be used together a lot of times. I hate the part where they don't show all the resources in use from all the regions so we need to switch the region just to check the items one by one leading to high bills.

Permissions can easily get very out of control especially if you are not using other areas of AWS. Cannot get the fully benefits of S3 buckets without using other AWS serviced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
