Amazon S3 solved our storage needs. Prior, the company was storing everything on their own servers. If the site went down, so did our files. Amazon's reliability is why we use the S3.

Amazon S3 is like Dropbox/Google Drive, but on Amazon's cloud server. That means, it's fast with a 99.9% uptime. All of our public-facing course material is secured on Amazon S3, and I don't have to worry about the server being down.

There's a learning curve. It's kind of ugly - I'm not expecting someone to use it right out of the box. There's lots of options to choose from, and you could accidentally expose all of your sensitive data if you didn't set it up correctly.

Amazon S3 helps to setup the industry level infrastructure with no big investment and do not require the long term commitment as we can buy the storage space on hourly wages. The different storage classes help us to remain within the budget.

Amazon S3 is a simple cloud based object storage. The different storage classes are designed to manage the data as per the requirements of the objects. The Intelligent S3 Tiering upgrade or downgrade the storage class based on the access patterns of the object to enhance the availability and durability. The S3 cross region replication helps in replication of the S3 objects in other regions. The multi-factor authentication delete on S3 bucket is really a life saver feature to protect from accidental deletion of objects.

Amazon S3 is not as simple as its name, the objects locks and versioning features are amazing but not easy as the learning curves sharp. The Storage monitoring provides limited number of notifications under the free tier.

What an excellent platform for collecting, storing, and analyzing data smoothly, in a safe and distinctive manner

What I loved about this platform is the ease of collecting and storing data in a smooth and distinctive way

Maybe the size of the encryption for the cloud

Overall, S3 is a great provider for storage solutions. You just need to watch the bills and see how you can keep them in check.

It is true that AWS is a juggernaut in the industry. This is the reason I used them as my primary offsite backup repository. Many popular applications like Backup Exec integrate very nicely with S3. There is tons of documentation out there for most applications on how to use S3 with their products. The free trials for the first year are nice too.

I kept noticing that my data pool was getting larger and larger due to the types of devices I was backing up. Amazon "micro" charges for everything and my bill started to grow exponentially. You are charged for data coming in, out, at rest, long term storage, not stored long enough, lists, etc. This started to become unwieldy. Their charges are not high but in my case they just grew too much so I had to switch solutions.

Excellent tool

One thing a like about the S3 is the versioning keeping variation of your objects and also the ease of accessibility of data/information through URL which is largely based on whatever permissions must have been set.

I would say the cost can get way out of place, largely depending on the usage though in comparison to other solutions while not taking for granted how robust the platform is.

I started using S3 as a off-site backup tool, and then I scaled up to use other services. It's serves it purpose rather well, but tends to be a little cumbersome, with many changes along the way and somehow a strict business model.

Amazon S3 defined the cloud in the begining. It's services were disruptive and much needed. I think that S3 it's a very solid option for backup and file retention.

However, it's not for the casual user. There are other, new and easy to use services aimed to the small business, wich offers a better way to deploy, are more cost-effective and have a more down-to-earth approach.

We are working on file manager design for health services and S3 has been our best pick to make this happen. Without S3, we might not have been able to do this. Thanks to Amazon.

My first love point is the documentations and easy integrations. Using the PHP SDK with the robust documentation had made our project fast and easy. Secondly, the cost... Using S3 for file storage is more cheaper than Dropbox. Thirdly: Ability to generate links and time of expiry is really great. I love this feature like cake.

We are expecting S3 to have a streaming feature. It should be possible to stream huge files directly without downloading it. Well, this feature does not affect us currently but we will definitely need this in the future.

Our product and client product are using daily S3 service. And this will increase our revenue. I really thanks for Amazon for this wonderful service.

- Very useful and Most import storage - Too much Fast. - You can select the region as per your need. - scalable storege

- Cost is hight. But the server is too good so we can't say what dislike of this service.

Once it's set up, it's all smooth sailing. Worry free solution.

Plugins available on various platforms for easy integration.

Bit pricey, however you pay for quality.

Overall amazon s3 is excellent and helps solve the storage problems I have.It is also easy to understand.

The interface is extremely user friendly and easy to use.I like how the AWS free tier is.It is also very easy to manage my data.

My only problem with it is that not all file operations are supported.

AWS S3 is Simple Storage Service by AWS which allows you to store data on the cloud at an affordable price. You can use s3 to store large data like static data, documents, images, videos, etc on cloud and access it anywhere. We can host static websites on it if you owning a business and want a simple solution to host a static website you can use this option.

In this growing world, data is the most important so storage of the huge data is very important, Amazon's Simple Storage Service (s3) is the best and affordable cloud storage service available in the market. We can store huge and any kind of data on S3 like Documents, Text Files, PDF, Audio, Video, etc. There are multiple storage options available with S3 like frequent data and infrequently used data can be stored on AWS Glacier low-cost storage. The data is secured on AWS s3 with multi-level access protocols eg public, private, etc

AWS S3 is not compatible with system-level like desktops, it should have something with which it can use used that will be very easy. We can not store more files more than 5 GB in size

Overall, we're able to store our datasets reliably and inexpensively thanks to S3.

I like that S3 is a cost-effective storage solution. We're able to store large datasets reliably at a reasonable price.

Scaling usage of S3 for a larger team which aren't necessarily devs is quite challenging. Managing many users in AWS in general is a fragmented workflow.

We use s3 for all our data storage purposes like images, videos and files.

S3 SDK support is really good. SDK is for all of the programming languages. The community support for s3 is great and is one of the reasons I use it the most.

Few parts that are difficult to do is directory wise public access or changing permissions of directories.

Before S3 we stored our sensitive files on hard drives where also our web application resides. One day it crashed and the files were gone. We started to use S3 and now our application does not depend on where is resides. We don't worry whether our storage is enough. I also use S3 to store my personal files. It is very cheap.

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an object storage service for the cloud. You can store any amount of data and access it anywhere in the world. You may stop depending on hard drives for your web applications and start using Amazon S3 to store your media files, log files etc. It provides 99.999999999% durability which means you may lose just one file in 10,000 years. S3 has versioning option which helps you to prevent accidential deletions. Lifecycle policies help you manage and automate the life of your objects in S3, keeping you from leaving your data unnecessarily available. For example, you can set a lifecycle for your log files to be automatically deleted after 30 days. You can host a static website easily and in a cost effective way without worrying about the underlying hardware.

S3 has buckets to store objects and these buckets have universal names. So for example, you probably won't be able to open a bucket named "photos". Configuring security is a bit tricky. You have to be careful which buckets will be public and which will be private.

We can use s3 so that we don't have to rent out a server only for hosting a static website which obviously costs us more. Anyone should first do some R&D on it because there are various types of buckets that can help them.

its best feature is that by storing our static website we can host it with the help of it. Not only that we can host the frontend and connect it with AWS lambda for backend purposes which helps in the reduction of the cost.If you want to host the site use it as it provides security by using the IAM bucket policy defined by us.

Its cons are that the AWS charges for not only storage but as well as the fee for data transfer outside the was environment which increases the cost. AWS UI lacks sometimes as when we delete or create something it shows a banner below the header not in the notification bell-like Azure.

Amazon S3 pricing is designed so well that we can limit our monthly bill for S3 using the bill alerts. Different storage classes from S3 Standard to S3 Glacier Deep Archive can be set as per the objects needs. Big Data analytics help to manage and analyse the data lakes.

Amazon S3 provides the object storage with amazing web interface and a lot of features like scalability with great availability designed for 99.999999999 % on data durability. We can move our bucket's object to cost -effective storage class and the newly designed storage class 'S3 Intelligent -Tiering' move the objects based on access patterns. We can manage and monitor the objects with using tags and create the lifecycle of the objects according to tags. Multi-Factor Authentication can be enabled on delete operation which help in accidental delete operation. Versioning of objects can be enabled from bucket. The Cross-Region Replication helps in instant access.

Objects in the cloud are always vulnerable if firewall is not setup well. AWS snowball and snowmobile are either less availability or no-availability on geographical location.
