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
Easy to setup, good support, has good indexing and file-level restore features
The primary use case of this solution is for backing up EC2 instances and RDS instances The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions. Also, the ability to integrate it with the information management studio, and the backups for RDS…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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's most valuable features are its backup capability and tight integration with other AWS services."
"AWS Backup is most beneficial because we can manage the service, centralize, and automate the data without missing any essential information."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."
"I would rate Veritas CloudPoint a ten because it's done everything it says it'll do, and we've really not had many problems with it."
"The product is good for volume-level backups."
 

Cons

"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."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"Only the price could be improved."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"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 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."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"I don't care for the pricing or capacity license model from Veritas CloudPoint because there are cases where we back up the same data multiple times, yet we still owe from a capacity standpoint based on how much data is managed in our backups."
"They are niche with the work that they do, but they should have more integration with NetBackup and the reporting is something they should be working towards improving."
"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"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."
"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."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The pricing is okay."
"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."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"When comparing to other solutions, the price is at par."
