Featured Reviews

George Philippakos - PeerSpot reviewer
Backup process and monitoring become simple and effective while seamless instance recovery and cost optimization ensure business continuity
Policy creation is straightforward, with automatic backups of new resources enabled through tagging. Instance recovery is seamless, whether within the same VPC or across different VPCs. File-level restores are intuitive and easy to manage, while full VPC backups provide critical protection and peace of mind in the event of a disaster. In addition, lifecycle management and automated transitions to lower-cost storage tiers have been instrumental in optimizing costs while meeting compliance and retention requirements. The ability to create immutable backups further strengthens our business continuity strategy by ensuring an additional layer of protection against accidental or malicious data loss.
Charles Daou - PeerSpot reviewer
Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable
The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"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."
"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."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"It's a stable solution."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."
"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The reporting engine could be easier to use, but it does a good enough job for what is needed."
"I believe onboarding could be easier. While the platform supports multi-account architectures, the initial process for new customer accounts could be more automated."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"The process for version upgrades, which sometimes requires deploying a new instance, could be streamlined to allow for a more seamless in-place update."
"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."
"S3 backups, which I know is already in the feature pipeline, would be a useful improvement."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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's very economical and worth the cost."
"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."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
