Using the app is straightforward with easy buttons to click on.
Customer Service: We didn't contact their customer service at any point because the backup and recovery process is pretty straightforward. But they have a customer support email and phone just in case. Technical Support: CloudAlly can be used by a non-techie person because it's simple. We didn't contact the technical support, but it's available for any user who may encounter a problem.

The best features Veeam Backup for AWS offers are that it is fast and reliable, easy to use, creates image backups of PostgreSQL, allows upgrading full functions using the AWS plugin package, and enables using a single console to manage data protection and recovery. Veeam Backup for AWS has positively impacted my organization by solving the challenges of managing backup in complex AWS environments. Its features such as data deduplication and compression offered at a good price are very cost-effective. Backups are also very powerful and easy when using Veeam Backup for AWS software. Since using Veeam Backup for AWS, I have seen specific outcomes such as reduced downtime and data loss by 80% from 60%, along with compliance and risk mitigation and cost savings since it is very easy and cost-effective.
