Well that’s a feeling I’m having when seeing other people’s results on this forum. I keep being unimpressed by throughput (especially considering how massively parallel it is) and latency, but maybe that’s just me…
Or sometimes it’s not directly because of the Storj network but rather because of tier tools using it, I’m not sure. Here are a couple of examples where the Storj network isn’t perfect:
- I tested FileZilla and I must say I am not impressed (performance issues on FZ)
- [UPDATE] We've launched Linkshare short URLs and static site hosting! (latency issues)
But maybe these use cases wouldn’t work on Amazon S3 neither, I’m not sure. I may not be seeing the whole picture, other should feel free to chime in and explain why it is in fact an amazing product! Don’t get me wrong, I think Storj is a good and promising product that has a great potential and could become awesome, but I think it’s not there yet 
It keeps getting better month after month though
