Hitesh Jethwa - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
David Villota - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable and issue-free with a helpful onboarding wizard

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 is the ease of use."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
 

Cons

"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 GUI could be slightly improved."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"It could use deduplication features."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"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."
"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."
"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
"Price-wise it's good."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
