Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.

Automation has transformed our backup process and validated our disaster recovery strategy
While the product is excellent, there are a couple of areas for potential improvement. The process for version upgrades, which sometimes requires deploying a new instance, could be streamlined to allow for a more seamless in-place update. It would be extremely useful to have the ability to set a retention period on manual backups. Occasionally, we take a manual snapshot before a major deployment, and currently, these can be forgotten, leading to unnecessary storage costs. Adding an 'auto-delete after X days' option to manual backups, similar to scheduled policies, would be a fantastic addition for cost management and general housekeeping. The EKS backup module should be a great feature, and it would have been a useful functionality to have for cluster backup management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"N2WS is a perfect backup solution for AWS EC2 instances and VPC backups, and it has made our backup process and monitoring simple and effective."
"N2W has significantly improved our operational efficiency and our confidence in our business continuity plan."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"The ability to recover instances or volumes within minutes has improved our RTOs dramatically."
"A recovery process that had previously taken a team of engineers the better part of a day was successfully completed in under an hour."
"N2W has significantly improved our operational efficiency and our confidence in our business continuity plan."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"The process for version upgrades, which sometimes requires deploying a new instance, could be streamlined to allow for a more seamless in-place update."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"S3 backups, which I know is already in the feature pipeline, would be a useful improvement."
"I would like to see native support for more AWS services beyond EC2 and EBS, such as full coverage of RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"It could be improved to include disaster recovery in cross accounts for Azure in upcoming releases."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"The reporting engine could be easier to use, but it does a good enough job for what is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"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."
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
