AWS Solution Architect at Barclays Capital
Streamlined with good backup processes and secure automation capabilities
AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security. The pay-as-you-go model is beneficial for scalability, as cost scales with the amount of data backed up. Additionally, it offers automation capabilities, allowing backups to be configured based on custom plans and frequency. It also has built-in monitoring to notify of failures, achieving operational excellence and ease of use.

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 is disaster recovery."
"The most valuable feature I have found the be the management console it is very easy to use and automation is important. Additionally, overall the solution is easy to use."
"The tool's backup and cybersecurity features are good. I haven't had any complaints from any users. Everybody likes the XDR and EDR that it provides. The solution is simple and easy to use."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"We can block certain ports and USB ports for data loss prevention."
"One of my favorite features of the Acronis backup product is the ability to replicate the backups. Backup data can be replicated to a second, third, or even fourth data source."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud needs to be more flexible with its pricing."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"The technical support could be improved. When you create a ticket, the responsiveness you'd expect is lacking."
"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"While we use the product to perform daily backups, restoring them from the cloud server often takes a significant amount of time."
"One of the areas where the product could be improved is its online cloud backup. I do appreciate the way the product is easy to navigate, however, sometimes I have difficulty managing the security permissions on my backups."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services."
"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."
"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."
"Only the price could be improved."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"To create a plan and for all the configuration, one has to do multiple steps, which could be organized in a much simpler way, making the user experience better."

"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"The product is inexpensive."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"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."
