Manages virtual machine backups smoothly and simplifies restoration across environments
It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments. The product's interface is intuitive. AWS Backup has a much higher price if you compare it with the snapshots. I have to pay for the whole environment by AWS. We have a backup solution with only virtual machines. The rest of it, we have a restore point.

Ensures efficient backup and recovery processes
The Protect and Restore features are very helpful. I can set up tags to include specific assets in our environment for backup. When I include those tags in my search, the assets are easily found and can be added for backup. I love the restore feature and how easily I can restore files, folders, or an entire image.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"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."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"The customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
 

Cons

"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."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"To create a plan and for all the configuration, one has to do multiple steps, which could be organized in a much simpler way, making the user experience better."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"Only the price could be improved."
"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."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"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."
"The product is inexpensive."
