Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage

Wasabi is a cost effective choice, with reasonably simple billing. The dashboard experience is easy to use, when required, and the simplicity means initial on-boarding can be accomplished quickly. Wasabi supports renaming of buckets, which is particularly useful for development environments. Wasabi documentation is good and their support responsive.

It just works. It's a set-it-and-forget-it type of thing. Seems to be reliable.

We run through our disaster recovery plan every so often, and it works fast and effectively.

The dashboard tends to stall with the deletion of a significant amount of objects. We find that with when using a developer instance or bucket, there is a lot of purging of the entire contents, or an entire root key for when testing backfilling. This takes time and the interface lags a little. However, this is not a normal use-case for the product. Wasabi doesn't support S3 object metadata to a great extent. We need an external client to view it, and filtering is not supported. This prompted a long put-off project to index in Redis anyway, which is a better way to accomplish these things. A trivial viewer in the dashboard for objects, such as text, JSON, or perhaps image documents would be very handy, rather than having to download the documents, particularly when inspecting a significant number of documents.

The customer dashboard that provides views of the service health, status, and billing leaves a bit to be desired. I wish the dashboard was more detailed, especially in terms of the technical details, including storage usage, of the services I've provisioned.

It's hard to get support directly, they need to work with their vendors.
