"Betterand easy to use service"
What do you like best about AWS DataSync?

AWS Datasync helped me move a large amount of data from my old self-managed fileshare to AWS Managed FSX for windows file server around a couple of GB in a few minutes. It is easy to use and the service uses an agent or VM that makes reads and writes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS DataSync?

when it comes to very large amounts of data AWS Datasync can't help you because it takes a lot of time, resources and an amount instead of AWS Datasync you can choose AWS Snowball or Snowball Edge for Data migrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great service to continuously sync or a onetime copy of data from one location to another."
What do you like best about AWS DataSync?

The list of supported file types is quite huge.

solved my all problem of file transferring from one location to another.

It is quite affordable comparatively with other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS DataSync?

Use of $ in share names. At least allow escape characters when creating locations.

Bit more logging and ability to test mount shares from within the appliance. I had to test mine by launching a separate instance in the same VPC Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A fair option, yet needs a lot of improvement"
What do you like best about AWS DataSync?

Depending on your budget, Amazon EC2 offers a variety of setup and configuration options. It gives you so much that you almost don't have to maintain it.

Excellent value for money. Very dependable. There are numerous options. The dashboard tools are fantastic. Monitoring is ideal when used in conjunction with CloudWatch. Networking and security tools are highly adaptable. When you need a server, this is almost a proper tool to have in your technical toolbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS DataSync?

The number of options and setting options available only adds to the complexity of usage. It can take some time to understand how to use Amazon EC2. To begin using it, we had to retrain our team. Windows price is a little high, but it's preferable not to operate servers on Windows in the first place. They must have a free support level for paying clients with a specific volume that at the very least facilitates bug reporting. We pay them over $10,000 per month, and it's ridiculous that we can't even send them a support email or have a chat without spending hundreds of dollars more per month.

What do you like best about AWS DataSync?

It's a great tool for data centralization, works very well with mobile, and it's quite simple to use. Everybody in the company, from developers to UX/UI designers, finds it intuitive and never needed any assistance to have access to our files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS DataSync?

Sometimes it's a bit laggy. It's nothing very problematic but I notice that the speed of downloads and access to different pages differs from time to time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
