Overall Satisfaction with Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)

We use S3 to store files that we offer to subscriber customers.
  • Scales automatically.
  • Is always available.
  • Is cost effective with different storage tiers.
  • Slow access.
  • Difficult to manage files on large repositories.
  • Users are locked on it as migration to other services isn't easy or cheap.
  • Scalability.
  • Pricing.
  • Reliability.
  • We store files consumed by customers, can't apply ROI to it directly.

Very well suited to storing files that have a long "shelf life." Less suited if you need to move then (download or upload) multiple times because you pay for bandwidth.
