Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"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."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"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 most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"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."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"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."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"Technical support can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is decent."
"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."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"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."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The program is quite expensive."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
