Amazon S3

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Pros

Its support multiple AWS services, we can easily integrate s3 with other aws services, we can add media images, videos, zip files, log files in s3 and access anywhere in internet with permission. we can also use s3 for storing and hosting static website and low cost. offering different storage classes for cost optimization and uses.

Cons

1. Permission Handling
2. Access data anywhere in internet
3. Support CDN
4. Integration with multiple AWS services
5. storing archive data files
6. versioning control
7. transfering speed

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

It's a cheap solution for storing data. You can easily access AWS s3 both with data processing platforms (e.g. Spark) and client softwares (e.g. Cyberduck). You can also choose which type of storage fits better your need, depending of the access frequency (once a week, once a month, once a year...). AWS S3 supports all data format, while some of them (parquet and iceberg) are highly recommended for storing huge tables. You can also set lifecycle rules to delete old and unused files after a custom period.

Cons

As a minor hiccup, there is some trouble in deleting corrupted files.

Pros

Amazon S3 is just one part of the wider Amazon Web Services (AWS). This infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform is a one-stop shop for all your IT requirements. AWS provides over 70 services including analytics, networking, mobile, database, and more. Tools and features you can take advantage of include versioning, which allows you to roll back to previous versions of a file or recover deleted objects, and managed IT services, designed to make running your business easier.One of the main benefits of Amazon S3 is that it offers unlimited server capacity, so you can store your data without worrying about hard drive failure on macOS or service disruption. With unlimited bandwidth, secure email hosting, and more, Amazon S3 and AWS are reliable and scalable as your business expands or grows.

Cons

Unfortunately, one of the main disadvantages of Amazon S3 is that AWS limits resources by location, so some areas may have fewer resources than others. It can also be challenging to find out how many resources you've used, although you can request a resource increase if needed.If you store your data on your MacBook but are considering moving your data to the cloud, it’s normal to be worried about common cloud computing concerns. You might be worried about service downtime and being unable to access your files when you need them. Perhaps privacy and security are your key concerns. Or maybe you’re losing sleep over data leakage risks, particularly if you work with sensitive personal data. Other issues include limited control over your account and data, and backup protection. Because Amazon S3 is so well established and popular, the service already has these concerns covered, so you don’t need to worry about them.

Pros

Amazon S3 is a really flexible product that easy to use, its really easy to share the files with others but mostly great for uploading data from S3 into Redshift

Cons

The thing i dislike the most is the changes sometimes introduced means changing several processes.

Pros

I really like the free-tier offer by Amazon which provides a 12-months free S3 storage with a capacity of 5 GB and over 20000 access requests. This is really generous and allows a developer to test the full AWS features mainly the interaction between the VM processing in EC2 and the storage in S3 to stand on the actual performance and throughput of different application classes. I used Amazon S3 in testing the storage of sensor data from a test-bed home automation application. The object-oriented bucket architecture in S3 made it very easy to store sensor data using probabilistic sketching data structures such as Bloom filters and Quotient filters. Very efficient even with large data streams which gives an indication on the sophisticated algorithms supporting the S3 storage architecture.

Cons

No major drawback in S3. Would definitely be happy to see more free-tier support especially for educational purposes.

Pros

It is the most secure online storage and offers free training.

Cons

it can be slow depending on your location

Pros

How easy it is to use an do stuff with an use period

Cons

No complaints very easy app to be able to use

Pros

S3 provides scalability and integration making it an idle choice ass a cloud storage. It has straight forward documentation with packages to implement with various programming languages such as node and python.

Cons

The pricing for S3 is quite high for its usage which makes me hesitated while working with S3 and its usage.

Pros

The ultimate in cloud storage with the highest levels of availability and durability. Attractively, you can use storage at a low cost per TB. Data sent from IoT devices, logs from all AWS services, backups of AWS services, and so on. They can be stored in any format without worrying about running out of capacity resources, which gives us a great sense of reliability and security.

Cons

The fee schedule is confusing, making it challenging to estimate total costs. I want a more accurate cost simulation function. I also want a safety warning function because incorrect configuration increases safety risks.

Reasons for Switching to Amazon S3

Pros

I like the way AWS S3 makes it simple to store different kinds of files on the AWS Cloud. It is not just limited to the storage service. It allows hosting static websites as well. By providing various types of storage services such as s3 standard, s3 intelligent storage, s3 one zone storage, s3 glacier and flexible storage, it offers a one-stop solution for all kinds of storage needs from urgent retrieval of files to delayed recovery. It is also an economical solution for the organization which wants to store its data on a large scale. The thing which I like the most about s3 is it's bucket name is globally unique.

Cons

S3 doesn't allow renaming buckets, which AWS could add-in the future.

Pros

We adore how scalable it is and how reasonably priced it is. Impressive speeds are also attained.

Cons

In the event that you select the incorrect button, your data may become publicly available online. Misconfigured S3 buckets have resulted in data breaches for multiple companies.

Pros

I signed up for an account for a while thinking it was an easy to use storage service, until I realized that it is really a higher-end service for enterprises and high-end companies that need to store high quality data, with security and monitoring.

Cons

I didn't give it that much of a chance to find out, but the free trial gave me plenty of time to look at the program and see its functions and uses.

Pros

Amazon S3 is an incredibly reliable and scalable storage service. It is simple to use, cost-effective, and provides excellent performance for data storage and retrieval.

Cons

While Amazon S3 is excellent for storing and retrieving data, it may not be the best solution for processing large volumes of data. This requires additional services that may come at a cost.

Pros

The ability to use s3 buckets for all sorts of needs across the teams, documents storage, CDN, large data among other things while its not too expensive.

Cons

Some of the restriction around naming isn't always ideal especially with grouping data by date, bucket names across accounts within regions.

Pros

I like the ease and security it has to perform different operations

Cons

It could be that it is a platform that is not very well known in my place of origin.

Pros

We can store any amount of data and can retrieve it too. Other than that versioning and access management are also major features that comply with proper standards. Also I should mention about the availability because even though my data is lost because of any disaster, my data will be remain die to the backup data.

Cons

Pricing is expensive a lot when compared with other company products.

Pros

The functionalities, they have plenty of it, and looks like it is easy
