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

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

Pros

"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."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"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."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"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."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"The most valuable feature is the storage efficiency, as the storage footprint is very good."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."

Cons

"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."
"To create a plan and for all the configuration, one has to do multiple steps, which could be organized in a much simpler way, making the user experience better."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"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."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
