Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It works well as a backup and as a service."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"The initial setup is really straightforward."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"If AWS could also add some hybrid cloud features to AWS Backup, that would be a significant improvement. For example, currently, AWS Backup only backs up to the S3 and Amazon Cloud, and you can only restore from the Amazon Cloud only. However, some people have hybrid environments. They have some workloads on-premises and some workloads in the cloud."
"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."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"The AWS Backup backend reporting is a major area that needs improvement. We would be very excited if we can see some reporting, such as trends. We do understand that there are reports available for S3 Bucket, in which the AWS backend stores the data. However, if we can receive holistic reporting, then it would be very helpful for us."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
