We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature.""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.""The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered.""The most valuable feature is its ease of use.""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.""AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups.""I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten.""The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."

"The solution is very easy to use.""It is rather easy to replicate data across your cloud environment using this solution once you've done it a few times.""The ransomware protection feature and anomaly detection are the most valuable, and the ability to integrate new cloud workloads is also valuable."

Cons
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient.""Only the price could be improved.""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.""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.""The initial setup of the solution is complex.""They should work on their visual capabilities.""There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."

More AWS Backup Cons →

"NetBackup should be made more user-friendly, and a video tutorial should be created to help new users understand how to configure and use the solution properly.""Maybe a year and a half ago, during a backup, I had an updating issue with Java.""It would be nice if reporting was a bit easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 is a lot of flexibility with the services and pricing. The price is reasonable when compared to other products. This is very good for us."
  • "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."
  • "Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
  • "The solution's price is reasonable."
  • "Price-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. One only has to pay for the storage cost of AWS solutions, which is the standard cost provided by AWS."
  • "Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
  • "The pricing is decent."
