Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​"
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"It could be less expensive."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"If AWS could also add some hybrid cloud features to AWS Backup, that would be a significant improvement. For example, currently, AWS Backup only backs up to the S3 and Amazon Cloud, and you can only restore from the Amazon Cloud only. However, some people have hybrid environments. They have some workloads on-premises and some workloads in the cloud."
"The tool is a good fit if your environment is VM-specific. However, it might not be the most suitable option if you have physical servers or an on-premise setup."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​"
"The product could be improved by incorporating more AI-driven automation for deployment and additional security features. These enhancements would make the solution even more user-friendly and secure."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"There are no licensing costs for AWS Backup. You pay only for the amount of backup storage you use and then the data transferred between regions. Overall AWS Backup is priced reasonably."
"The product is inexpensive."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"Price-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. One only has to pay for the storage cost of AWS solutions, which is the standard cost provided by AWS."
"We don't use a lot of space, only approximately 900 GB, so the price is reasonable. For standing, it's okay. We normally do a payment to SSML, and they are the ones who pay over there. It is around $100 monthly."
"It's a myth that Cloud is cheap. Cloud is cheap initially, but the cost over time can be equal to your own infrastructure if you consume a lot."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
