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

"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."
"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."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"The automation capabilities streamline our operations significantly."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"In terms of stability, the product is good."
 

Cons

"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"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 are multiple enhancements needed in terms of compatibility with all database services, as AWS Backup is currently limited to specific ones."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"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."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"It's a myth that Cloud is cheap. Cloud is cheap initially, but the cost over time can be equal to your own infrastructure if you consume a lot."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"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."
"There are no licensing costs for AWS Backup. You pay only for the amount of backup storage you use and then the data transferred between regions. Overall AWS Backup is priced reasonably."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The pricing is okay."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"This is a very costly solution."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
