Seamless backups have transformed data protection and now safeguard critical workloads
The best features Veeam Backup for AWS offers are that it is fast and reliable, easy to use, creates image backups of PostgreSQL, allows upgrading full functions using the AWS plugin package, and enables using a single console to manage data protection and recovery. Veeam Backup for AWS has positively impacted my organization by solving the challenges of managing backup in complex AWS environments. Its features such as data deduplication and compression offered at a good price are very cost-effective. Backups are also very powerful and easy when using Veeam Backup for AWS software. Since using Veeam Backup for AWS, I have seen specific outcomes such as reduced downtime and data loss by 80% from 60%, along with compliance and risk mitigation and cost savings since it is very easy and cost-effective.

Pros

"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
"I like the interface and that they add new features all the time, but I use it mainly for the sync option which keeps my files up to date."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"Excellent service."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has reduced many risks for my organization because in a difficult moment, if I need to restore my backup, I have access to a backup outside my environment and I can restore this backup to another AWS account; this is how I manage risk."
"My experience shows that with traditional manual AWS recovery, such as a snapshot plus rebuild, the time is 30 to 120 minutes, while with Veeam Backup for AWS-based recovery an EC2 restore is within 5 to 10 minutes, an EBS volume restore is in minutes, and an RDS point-in-time recovery is in 10 to 30 minutes, giving 50% to 80% faster recovery compared to traditional manual AWS recovery."
"Veeam Backup for AWS is a very good tool, and I consider it the number one tool in the market for backing up to AWS."
"In my opinion, the best features of Veeam Backup for AWS include that Veeam Backup VDA is best for EC2 instance snapshots, as it allows you to achieve compression in a better way and you don't need to save anything elsewhere or need an additional S3 bucket because it is going to use your account-level backup vaults."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has valuable features such as easy management and installation."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has been a game changer for our organization."
"My main use case for Veeam Backup for AWS is that I have been using it since 2018, and it is one of the best backup solutions available."
"If you are looking for a solution to back up your AWS instances, then you should try Veeam Backup for AWS, as you will not be disappointed."
 

Cons

"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"I would like to be able to edit the files at the same time with the others, but I understand that this is not possible with the cloud solutions in general."
"Overall, Veeam Backup for AWS works well, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved."
"I believe that Veeam Backup for AWS could be improved by addressing the lack of a hybrid solution and enhancing the user interface to be more user-friendly, as the initial setup was somewhat complex, especially for less tech-savvy users."
"There is room for improvement in Veeam Backup for AWS regarding its pricing. There are alternative solutions available at a lower price."
"We also need faster response time for high technical issues in case of support."
"Veeam Backup for AWS can be improved in some areas. Speed for very large EC2 and RDS environments with Veeam Backup for AWS could be improved, such as better parallel recovery for multi-terabyte databases."
"People must be aware of the costs associated with Veeam Backup for AWS and try to manage them. Be aware of it because this is a sudden cost and a surprising cost - what I would say is a hidden cost."
"We face minimal challenges during deployment, but sometimes issues arise during upgrades; however, we usually find solutions quickly."
"Veeam Backup for AWS should provide a hybrid solution, and the user interface needs to be more user-friendly."
