Manages virtual machine backups smoothly and simplifies restoration across environments
It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments. The product's interface is intuitive. AWS Backup has a much higher price if you compare it with the snapshots. I have to pay for the whole environment by AWS. We have a backup solution with only virtual machines. The rest of it, we have a restore point.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

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 we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"AWS Backup is most beneficial because we can manage the service, centralize, and automate the data without missing any essential information."
"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 advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"It offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."
 

Cons

"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."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services."
"It could be less expensive."
"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."
"Only the price could be improved."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"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 program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."
"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."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract."
"Licensing has been a struggle."
"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."
"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."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"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."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The pricing is decent."
"The pricing is okay."
