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.

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."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."

Cons

"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"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 Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services."
"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is decent."
"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 clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"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."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"The pricing is okay."
"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
