Streamlined with good backup processes and secure automation capabilities
AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security. The pay-as-you-go model is beneficial for scalability, as cost scales with the amount of data backed up. Additionally, it offers automation capabilities, allowing backups to be configured based on custom plans and frequency. It also has built-in monitoring to notify of failures, achieving operational excellence and ease of use.

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

"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"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."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments."
"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."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"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

"It could be less expensive."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"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."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"Regarding disadvantages of AWS Backup, it can be expensive and not particularly user-friendly."
"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."
"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."
"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"There is a lot of flexibility with the services and pricing. The price is reasonable when compared to other products. This is very good for us."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"The pricing is decent."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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 costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
