MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplify compliance and management of multiple backups with centralized cloud solutions
AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services. Also, it would be helpful if AWS Backup could integrate logs more thoroughly. This would allow not only new users but also experienced users to more easily check logs directly from AWS Backup.
Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"The customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"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 solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
 

Cons

"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services."
"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."
"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."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"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 solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"The pricing is okay."
"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 clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"The product is inexpensive."
"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."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
