Good policies related to data
I primarily use it for various policies related to data, such as data retention, data deletion, and archiving policies. All policies can be set using this system The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities. I would like to see more integration with different platforms,…

User-friendly, easy to deploy, and stable
I give the solution a nine out of ten. We require one engineer for maintenance. I would highly recommend N2WS Backup & Recovery, as I have had no issues and the sales and technical support teams have been excellent. They keep in touch with us every three to six months via email and phone calls.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."

"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The initial setup is easy."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"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 price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"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."
"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."
