Automated backups have strengthened governance and compliance while simplifying recovery
AWS Backup offers several valuable features. I think the fact that it is an AWS organization-wide service is significant. It is a centralized management system that allows me to manage AWS Backup policies, retention periods, and monitoring from a single place instead of configuring these backups for each AWS service. This helps with governance and control. Another feature I appreciate is the integration with AWS Organization, which allows backup policies to be applied consistently across multiple accounts, which is very important for large organization environments where governance and compliance are critical. I also appreciate the automated backup plans that reduce operational overhead and ensure resources are protected without relying on manual intervention. Additionally, cross-account and cross-region backup support improves resilience against accidental deletion, ransomware, or regional outages. The compliance and reporting features help provide visibility into backup status, recovery points, and policy adherence, making audits much easier.

Flexible, good data protection, responsive and knowledgeable technical support
They definitely need to improve their reporting. Their dashboard is good. It can always be improved, but for now, it's really simple: you see what works and what doesn't. However, once you get into the enterprise space, you want to make sure that your dashboard has additional, reporting possibilities. You will want more customization and more options available. Because if you move into the enterprise-class space in the financial industry, they will want to know regulations, where the data is held, and how long the retention periods are by marketing group and per type of data. You want to have hooks into the data types, which Keepit doesn't have now, but I'm sure it will soon.

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 features of AWS Backup are very service-oriented and user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support is amazing, it is the best."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is definitely its pricing point. Invoicing is simple. It is one price that includes both licensing and retention requirements, which is rare in today's market. That, I believe, is a significant differentiation for them."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is definitely its pricing point."
 

Cons

"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."
"It could be less expensive."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"The AWS Backup backend reporting is a major area that needs improvement. We would be very excited if we can see some reporting, such as trends. We do understand that there are reports available for S3 Bucket, in which the AWS backend stores the data. However, if we can receive holistic reporting, then it would be very helpful for us."
"The restore functionality is an area that needs to be improved because right now, it is not very good."
"Regarding disadvantages of AWS Backup, it can be expensive and not particularly user-friendly."
"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."
"They definitely need to improve their reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The pricing is okay."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable 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."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"I believe the MSRP is around $5 or $6 USD per person, per month, and per seat."
