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

"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"The customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"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."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"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 most valuable feature of Druva is that it can detect changes in files or laptops and perform incremental backups."
"The centralized management console in this solution and AI-driven analytics are good features."
"Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva."
 

Cons

"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"Only the price could be improved."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"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."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
"They can improve their product quality for Salesforce as they don't have the capability to run that business without Technobind."
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"It's a myth that Cloud is cheap. Cloud is cheap initially, but the cost over time can be equal to your own infrastructure if you consume a lot."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"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."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
