Featured Reviews

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.
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

"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"The solution's most valuable features are its backup capability and tight integration with other AWS services."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"It's incredibly fast."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
 

Cons

"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services."
"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."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"Regarding disadvantages of AWS Backup, it can be expensive and not particularly user-friendly."
"It could be less expensive."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"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."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."
"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."
"The speed could be better."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
