Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed
The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

Automated backups have transformed our multi-account recovery and now streamline compliance reporting
While N2WS has served us well, there are areas for improvement. The user interface feels somewhat dated and could benefit from modernization. Navigation between sections could be more intuitive, and the dashboard design could be more streamlined compared to contemporary AWS tools. The initial setup process has a steeper learning curve than we’d prefer, especially for complex multi-account configurations. More guided setup wizards would help new team members get up to speed faster. Reporting capabilities could be more granular, particularly around cost optimization metrics and backup performance analytics. Currently, we need to gather information from multiple screens to get comprehensive insights. For future releases, we’d value enhanced integration with AWS native services like Config and CloudTrail for better compliance reporting. More advanced scheduling options that adjust based on application load would also be beneficial. Better support for newer AWS services as they’re released would help us maintain comprehensive coverage as our infrastructure evolves. Additionally, native integration with popular ITSM tools beyond email notifications would improve our workflow automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I'd recommend it it's a really good, straightforward, easy use system, with no hidden strings."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."
"Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."
"N2WS is a mature and reliable solution that delivers strong value for AWS backup and disaster recovery."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"N2W greatly improved our resilience to potential loss of services and allowed us to strengthen our service offering for our customers."
"N2WS has significantly improved our organization’s data protection and disaster recovery capabilities"
"A recovery process that had previously taken a team of engineers the better part of a day was successfully completed in under an hour."
"I absolutely love this software and the peace of mind it brings to me and my organization."
"We had a ransomware event in 2023, and we were able to recover every machine with minimal effort."
"N2W has positively impacted our organization by assisting us in areas of cost savings when compared to other tools available, and it has also given us an extra layer of protection."
 

Cons

"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."
"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."
"S3 backups, which I know is already in the feature pipeline, would be a useful improvement."
"The only challenges we have because we are enterprise level and have so many accounts is that the rollout of the new JSON scripts that come out when you upgrade sometimes can be a little tedious."
"One area where we would appreciate improvement is support for additional AWS native services, such as Lambda function backups and S3 beyond archive."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"Deployment is one area that could use improvement."
"An additional feature within resource control would be to automatically downgrade volumes to a cheaper storage tier through a policy or when instances are stopped via the resource manager."
"The user interface feels somewhat dated and could benefit from modernization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
