The pricing for N2WS is generally reasonable and transparent, especially when compared to enterprise backup solutions. It is based on the number of instances you are backing up, which makes it easy to predict costs as you scale. What I’d advise others is to carefully evaluate your actual backup requirements before sizing. Don’t just count every EC2 instance; consider which systems truly need automated backup versus those that can be rebuilt from infrastructure as code. This can significantly impact your licensing costs. The cost savings from automated snapshot lifecycle management and cleanup of orphaned snapshots often offset a portion of the N2WS licensing fees. We have seen noticeable reductions in our EBS snapshot storage costs since implementation. For organizations currently using custom scripts or manual processes, factor in the operational overhead you are eliminating. The time our team saves on backup management and troubleshooting easily justifies the licensing cost. If you are comparing against AWS Backup, remember that while AWS Backup has no licensing fees, N2WS provides additional features like advanced cross-region DR and multi-account management that may be worth the premium depending on your requirements. I would recommend starting with their trial to get accurate pricing for your specific environment and usage patterns before making a decision.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is smooth, as I have not faced any issues while spinning up the instance from the marketplace, and the documentation is very comprehensive.

My advice regarding pricing is to look at it in terms of total value and return on investment, not just the license cost. While N2W is a paid product, the cost is easily justified by the significant reduction in engineering hours spent on managing and troubleshooting custom backup scripts. The pricing model, which is based on the number of instances you protect, is straightforward and predictable. The real value comes from the drastically reduced risk of data loss and the speed at which you can recover. The cost of a few hours of downtime would far exceed our yearly N2W license fee, making it a very worthwhile investment for any serious business running on AWS.
I believe N2WS offers a highly competitive pricing model, delivering excellent value. It is certainly a worthwhile investment, providing a strong return on investment (ROI).

It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs. It was easy to find everything; the AWS Marketplace is very intuitive for anyone. We procured this solution via the Marketplace because of the facility of the portal, and to ensure full integration between the tool, the portal, etc. The process was very simple.
The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button. We're a large company, and if you go through finance paying by invoice, it adds delays and more things to manually track. Whereas, with AWS Marketplace, for AWS instances, On Demand pricing, and elastic pricing, you can stop and start as you need. It takes away all the overhead of having to deal with finance if we're just building products. We're all tech people. We don't want to worry about the financial aspect of it. 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. 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.

Not all features are available in the cheaper plans, so I recommend reviewing what features are needed and planning accordingly.

I used the free version. I don't have much experience with the paid version. But I'm trying to compare the pricing between different options.

The price is not cheap, nor is it costly. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

It was easy to purchase from the AWS marketplace. It is also very economical, and worth every penny.
