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

"The customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"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."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"The product is good for volume-level backups."
"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."
 

Cons

"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"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."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"It could be less expensive."
"Regarding disadvantages of AWS Backup, it can be expensive and not particularly user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."
 

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."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"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."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"The pricing is okay."
"The pricing is decent."
"The product is inexpensive."
"When comparing to other solutions, the price is at par."
