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.

Trustworthy and provides good availability
Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over. It could be more of a knowledge transfer situation that didn't happen, but we didn't know if it was easy to use. Precisely Assure QuickEDD is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The implementation of QLED helped us with our recovery time objective and was a seamless transition. In order to utilize the product to its fullest potential, users should be knowledgeable of what it offers. They should also form a relationship with the person who is their representative. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"N2W has significantly improved our operational efficiency and our confidence in our business continuity plan."
"The ability to recover instances or volumes within minutes has improved our RTOs dramatically."
"This is one of the most stable products that I have ever seen."
"A recovery process that had previously taken a team of engineers the better part of a day was successfully completed in under an hour."
"After acquiring two additional products in 2018, which we migrated from data centers to the cloud, N2W allowed us to streamline our backup process for three products within one tool."
"Overall, the product is successful with the SMB market, which means that price and service costs are aligned with the SMB market and well accepted by customers."
"N2WS is a powerful solution with a rich set of features designed to address even the most complex backup and disaster recovery requirements."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"Its initial setup is fine; it is straightforward and easy."
"Synchronous applications are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."
 

Cons

"I would like to see native support for more AWS services beyond EC2 and EBS, such as full coverage of RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"Deployment is one area that could use improvement."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"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."
"Improved disaster recovery options and expanded multicloud support are two areas where N2WS has already made significant advancements in the latest version."
"Pricing can increase as backup volumes grow, so it is important to balance the level of protection with cost-optimization strategies such as tiering snapshots to S3 or Glacier."
"One area where we would appreciate improvement is support for additional AWS native services, such as Lambda function backups and S3 beyond archive."
"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements."
"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."
"There should be more interactive dashboards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"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."
"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 is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."
