Featured Reviews

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.
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 product is successful with the SMB market."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"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."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"Replication without network changes."
 

Cons

"The GUI has room for improvement."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"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."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"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."
"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 flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."
"We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
 

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