Wasabi
- 90-day minimum storage duration with no option to delete before full period without penalty
- Significantly smaller global footprint than AWS with only 16 regions, resulting in higher latency for users in underserved regions
- Performance can degrade with high-volume transactions requiring throughput management strategies
- Hot storage only, no cold/archival storage tier for long-term data at lower cost
- Support responsiveness gaps with teams experiencing multi-day waits for critical issue resolution
