AWS Solution Architect at Barclays Capital
Streamlined with good backup processes and secure automation capabilities
AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security. The pay-as-you-go model is beneficial for scalability, as cost scales with the amount of data backed up. Additionally, it offers automation capabilities, allowing backups to be configured based on custom plans and frequency. It also has built-in monitoring to notify of failures, achieving operational excellence and ease of use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"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."
"Only the price could be improved."
"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."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"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."
"It could be less expensive."
"There are multiple enhancements needed in terms of compatibility with all database services, as AWS Backup is currently limited to specific ones."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"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."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"The product is inexpensive."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"The pricing is decent."
"The pricing is okay."
"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."
