## AWS DataSync Reviews
  ### 1. A fair option, yet needs a lot of improvement

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**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.

**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 problems is AWS DataSync solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I've been able to tackle various issues, ranging from simple hosting to applications that have evolved and required scaling. For the most part, the setups are basic, and you can genuinely grow without spending a lot of money or time on astronomical solutions.
