Find out what your peers are saying about Commvault, Veeam Software, N-able and others in SaaS Backup."The solution's most valuable features are its backup capability and tight integration with other AWS services."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"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."
"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."
"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 replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"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."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"Only the price could be improved."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
