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 most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"The customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file."
"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

"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"It could be less expensive."
"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."
"Only the price could be improved."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"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

"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is decent."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The pricing is okay."
"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 costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
