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

"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 features of AWS Backup are very service-oriented and user-friendly."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"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."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
 

Cons

"The service disconnects a lot."
"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 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."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"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."
"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 solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"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."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"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."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"The pricing is okay."
"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 product is inexpensive."
"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."
"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."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The program is quite expensive."
