S3 is only place to keep files | TrustRadius

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

it is used for backups of all our files. We use S3 and glacier and encryption.

Pros and Cons

high availability
cheap
encryption at rest
s3cmd makes it easy to sync

I would love to be able to use s3 easily for ftp type work
I would like to see s3 console searchable
I would like to see a better way to manage access. The IAM/bucket policy process is confusing

Return on Investment

it is really cheap
it integrates well with ec2 instances
it is very clean product and reliable

Alternatives Considered

We use s3 because we are in AWS for all our applications

Likelihood to Recommend

it is great for backup. I would like to have an easy way to move from s3 to cloudwatch logs without having to write lambda code
