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.

Seamless integration supports small teams with existing skills
The most valuable feature we've found with Veritas CloudPoint so far is the lack of a learning curve because the team was already familiar with all of the consoles and how to build policies. As they started to use it in Azure, they were able to continue doing things as they were used to doing them rather than having to learn a new tool. The efficiency gain we've experienced is that we were able to start deploying backup policies to Azure without having to learn a new tool, even though there are arguments about overhead and granularity if one uses native Azure backup tools compared to Veritas CloudPoint.
