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.
Boomchi Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for cloud databases and overall cyber resiliency
The solution can be installed everywhere. Nowadays, it is deployed on the public cloud. If it's a small-sized environment, it takes two to three hours to configure everything. On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"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."
"The customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"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 auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."
"In terms of stability, the product is good."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"Even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."
 

Cons

"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services."
"Only the price could be improved."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"If you're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."
"There have been occasional issues with the user interface needing certain necessary information, requiring us to contact support for clarification."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"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."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"The pricing is okay."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"This is a very costly solution."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
