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.
SanjayMishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"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 customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"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 way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"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."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"It could be less expensive."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services."
"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."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"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."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The speed could be better."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The product needs to improve its support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"The pricing is okay."
"The product is inexpensive."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"The pricing is decent."
"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."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is good."
"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."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
