Vishal Maggoo - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective periodic backups enable seamless data recovery
Our primary use case for AWS Backup is for taking periodic backups of our production servers. We schedule these backups to ensure we have the latest snapshots of our servers in place In case of an outage, we are able to restore our servers from the backup. This ensures business continuity and…
Ahmad Mohammed EL-DADA - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface
The last update made the interface look somewhat unfamiliar to users. Data recovery was technically flawless at some point. However, an update after a merger changed things. The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward as before, and we're facing some challenges. Specifically, one user encrypted their data, and since they have left the company, we cannot decrypt it. This has resulted in a loss of access to that data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"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's most valuable features are its backup capability and tight integration with other AWS services."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"Reporting is one of the key elements that are valuable for C-suite executives. In terms of monitoring, the solution provides comprehensive details into ongoing processes, flagging issues and warnings as necessary."
"RDS backup is one of the most crucial components of any client's cloud environment, so we generally use that. Additionally, we store EBS snapshots in S3."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"It's incredibly fast."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
 

Cons

"Only the price could be improved."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"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."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"It could be less expensive."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The speed could be better."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"There is a lot of flexibility with the services and pricing. The price is reasonable when compared to other products. This is very good for us."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"The product is inexpensive."
"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."
"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."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The pricing is good."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
