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…

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

"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"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

"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"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 solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"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 tool is a good fit if your environment is VM-specific. However, it might not be the most suitable option if you have physical servers or an on-premise setup."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services."
"It could be less expensive."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"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."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"The product is inexpensive."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"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."
"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."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"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 solution is reasonably priced."
"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."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"This is a very costly solution."
"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."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
