Self-service integration enhances data protection and control over automated backups, offering robust restoration quality
The product is highly recommended for my enterprise customers due to its quality. The score for the product is between eight and ten, based on satisfaction levels. My clients are satisfied, but AvePoint Cloud Backup is costlier for smaller or medium-sized enterprises. Commercial discussions can be challenging on that front. I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10.

Seamless backups have transformed data protection and now safeguard critical workloads
The best features Veeam Backup for AWS offers are that it is fast and reliable, easy to use, creates image backups of PostgreSQL, allows upgrading full functions using the AWS plugin package, and enables using a single console to manage data protection and recovery. Veeam Backup for AWS has positively impacted my organization by solving the challenges of managing backup in complex AWS environments. Its features such as data deduplication and compression offered at a good price are very cost-effective. Backups are also very powerful and easy when using Veeam Backup for AWS software. Since using Veeam Backup for AWS, I have seen specific outcomes such as reduced downtime and data loss by 80% from 60%, along with compliance and risk mitigation and cost savings since it is very easy and cost-effective.

"Veeam Backup for AWS has valuable features such as easy management and installation."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has reduced many risks for my organization because in a difficult moment, if I need to restore my backup, I have access to a backup outside my environment and I can restore this backup to another AWS account; this is how I manage risk."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has been a reliable and effective solution for our environment, helping us improve backup automation, reduce downtime, and increase confidence in our recovery process while delivering strong value for organizations running workloads in AWS."

"Veeam Backup for AWS is a very good tool, and I consider it the number one tool in the market for backing up to AWS."
"In my opinion, the best features of Veeam Backup for AWS include that Veeam Backup VDA is best for EC2 instance snapshots, as it allows you to achieve compression in a better way and you don't need to save anything elsewhere or need an additional S3 bucket because it is going to use your account-level backup vaults."
 

Cons

"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies."
"Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on. Such customers often choose another backup solution instead of AvePoint."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on."
"I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"I believe that Veeam Backup for AWS could be improved by addressing the lack of a hybrid solution and enhancing the user interface to be more user-friendly, as the initial setup was somewhat complex, especially for less tech-savvy users."
"Overall, Veeam Backup for AWS works well, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved."
"Veeam Backup for AWS should provide a hybrid solution, and the user interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in Veeam Backup for AWS regarding its pricing. There are alternative solutions available at a lower price."
"We face minimal challenges during deployment, but sometimes issues arise during upgrades; however, we usually find solutions quickly."
"One area of improvement for Veeam Backup for AWS that I noticed is its reporting and monitoring, which is not really well-polished and should be improved."
"People must be aware of the costs associated with Veeam Backup for AWS and try to manage them. Be aware of it because this is a sudden cost and a surprising cost - what I would say is a hidden cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"It is very good for many of my customers in the banking and finance segments. The price isn't a problem there, but in some other industries, people ask for a cheaper solution. When the price is an issue for the customer, we recommend Veeam, Metallic."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
