MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"It's very easy to configure. Since it's a managed service, it's very straightforward to set up and use. And my customers get on with it very fast."
"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 solution's most valuable features are its backup capability and tight integration with other AWS services."
"RDS backup is one of the most crucial components of any client's cloud environment, so we generally use that. Additionally, we store EBS snapshots in S3."
"The customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"Regarding disadvantages of AWS Backup, it can be expensive and not particularly user-friendly."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"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."
"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."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"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."
"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."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The pricing is decent."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
