We performed a comparison between AWS Backup and AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"It's very easy to configure. Since it's a managed service, it's very straightforward to set up and use. And my customers get on with it very fast."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"The AWS Backup backend reporting is a major area that needs improvement. We would be very excited if we can see some reporting, such as trends. We do understand that there are reports available for S3 Bucket, in which the AWS backend stores the data. However, if we can receive holistic reporting, then it would be very helpful for us."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us."
"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."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"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."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
