Cons

"They should work on their visual capabilities."

"It could be less expensive."

"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."

"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."

"The initial setup of the solution is complex."

"The service disconnects a lot."

"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."

"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."

More AWS Backup cons

"Veeam is quite expensive."

"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."

"The installation could always be a little bit easier. You do need to be a bit technical."

"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."

"Pricing could be more affordable."

"Microsoft currently saves only two months of conversation history, and it would be better if Veeam could focus on backing up more than two months of conversation data."

"The product cannot back up Active Directory objects while its competitors can. Self-service power enables us to deal with service providers. We provide services for our clients, so having a multi-tenant service portal would be good."

"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is decent."

"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."

"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 clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."

"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."

"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."

"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."

"The solution is not expensive."

"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
