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

"It also saves costs and is quick."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."

"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"The automation capabilities streamline our operations significantly."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
 

Cons

"There are multiple enhancements needed in terms of compatibility with all database services, as AWS Backup is currently limited to specific ones."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."

"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"It could be less expensive."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"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."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The product is inexpensive."
"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."
"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 free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"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."
"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."
"This is a very costly solution."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
