"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"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."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"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."
"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"Even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."

"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."
"It could be less expensive."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"If you're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."
"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
