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…
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
 

Cons

"The service disconnects a lot."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"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."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"It could be less expensive."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"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."
"The pricing is decent."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"The program is quite expensive."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
