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.
Boomchi Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for cloud databases and overall cyber resiliency
The solution can be installed everywhere. Nowadays, it is deployed on the public cloud. If it's a small-sized environment, it takes two to three hours to configure everything. On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."

"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
