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 feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
