Manages virtual machine backups smoothly and simplifies restoration across environments
It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments. The product's interface is intuitive. AWS Backup has a much higher price if you compare it with the snapshots. I have to pay for the whole environment by AWS. We have a backup solution with only virtual machines. The rest of it, we have a restore point.

"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
 

Cons

"I would like to see enhancements made to the security."
"I have found that the solution is not as stable as it could be. When there are some errors it is difficult to know what took place to resolve them."
"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"Acronis Backup Cloud can improve by having fewer updates and patches to the solution. Additionally, should improve the functions that already exist in the solution rather than add new ones."
"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"Some proactive alerts or emails are not currently available."
"I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"Only the price could be improved."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us."
