Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."
"The most valuable aspect is its reliability in recovering any replaceable data in the event of server issues in a production environment."
"The solution's recovery process is very smooth."
"The most valuable data protection features in Veeam are encryption and error handling."
"One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"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."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"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."
"Granular-level backup is difficult."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product must improve its performance."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"There might be room for improvement at the plugin level, specifically concerning application plugins."
