Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"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 virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"The simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"The solution integrates easily."
"The creation of instances is very good, as is their interface which is not complex and is easy to use. With the dashboard it is easy to create a new instance and add your favorite things. You can add Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS, or any flavor of operating system. You can select the RAM for your instance as well."
"For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"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 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."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"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."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"They are already working on the firewalls and VLANs, which need improvement, and are now in beta. I am on the beta program for the firewalls, but I can't use it yet because they are only in Mumbai and Australia, and I am not in those data centres. This is the one thing that I have been waiting for almost since the day that I joined them, so it is nice that they are doing that. The VLANs will be an improvement as well, and I am keen and waiting for that."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
