Simplify compliance and management of multiple backups with centralized cloud solutions
AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services. Also, it would be helpful if AWS Backup could integrate logs more thoroughly. This would allow not only new users but also experienced users to more easily check logs directly from AWS Backup.

Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed
The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"AWS Backup is most beneficial because we can manage the service, centralize, and automate the data without missing any essential information."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."
 

Cons

"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"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 tool is a good fit if your environment is VM-specific. However, it might not be the most suitable option if you have physical servers or an on-premise setup."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"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."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"It could be less expensive."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."
"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't use a lot of space, only approximately 900 GB, so the price is reasonable. For standing, it's okay. We normally do a payment to SSML, and they are the ones who pay over there. It is around $100 monthly."
"There are no licensing costs for AWS Backup. You pay only for the amount of backup storage you use and then the data transferred between regions. Overall AWS Backup is priced reasonably."
"Price-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. One only has to pay for the storage cost of AWS solutions, which is the standard cost provided by AWS."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"It's a myth that Cloud is cheap. Cloud is cheap initially, but the cost over time can be equal to your own infrastructure if you consume a lot."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
