“Wasabi S3 Storage is a cost-effective, stable drop in replacement”

4.0
Oct 14, 2025
Our usage of Wasabi has been close to 5 years. It was a drop in replacement for other S3 services. In the first year, there were a few incidents that caused outages, more related to DNS than the actual storage. Other than the first year, it has been solid. The product has regular feature enhancements. They have a considerable number of regions. Where we provide storage for clients, we also recommend they use Wasabi. API access is very good, and usage with Terraform painless. Some accommodations need to be made around Identity since it's a storage product and not an IAM product. MFA is available, as well as subuser accounts.

“A valid alternative to higher cost cloud storage services”

Feb 29, 2024
While the service itself is good -- does what it says it will -- the interaction with the sales team was somewhat lacking. I reported a bug in the billing section and my comments were dismissed.

Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage Likes & Dislikes

Like

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.

Like

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

Like

The simple predictable pricing is what I like the most.

Dislike

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.

Dislike

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.

Dislike

The management features are quite basic compared to larger providers, locations of data centres are limited in some regions.
