Featured Reviews

MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
SanjayMishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features of AWS Backup are very service-oriented and user-friendly."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"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."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"Reporting is one of the key elements that are valuable for C-suite executives. In terms of monitoring, the solution provides comprehensive details into ongoing processes, flagging issues and warnings as necessary."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"It's incredibly fast."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
 

Cons

"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."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services."
"Regarding disadvantages of AWS Backup, it can be expensive and not particularly user-friendly."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"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."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"The speed could be better."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"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."
"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."
"The product is inexpensive."
"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."
"The pricing is okay."
"The pricing is decent."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The pricing is good."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
