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.

Efficient file restoration with rapid incremental backups and potential for better reporting
I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data. Also, the reports we can generate have limited features. There is a limitation in the advanced reporting features, such as understanding how many files are in the backup, which users are actively using it, and how many files have been backed up properly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

Cons

"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"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 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."
"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."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."

"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay."
"The pricing is decent."
"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 clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"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."
"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."
