Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an easy-to-use solution."

"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."

"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."

"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."

"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."

"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."

"It also saves costs and is quick."

"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."

More AWS Backup pros

"The initial setup is easy."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."

"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."

"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."

"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."

"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."

"The product is successful with the SMB market."

"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."

Cons

"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."

"The service disconnects a lot."

"They should work on their visual capabilities."

"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."

"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 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."

"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."

"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."

More AWS Backup cons

"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."

"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."

"The GUI could be slightly improved."

"There is room for improvement in stability."

"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."

"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."

"The GUI has room for improvement."

"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution's price is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."

"Price-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. One only has to pay for the storage cost of AWS solutions, which is the standard cost provided by AWS."

More AWS Backup pricing and cost advice

"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."

"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."

"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."

"It's very economical and worth the cost."

"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."

"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
