Simplify compliance and management of multiple backups with centralized cloud solutions
AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services. Also, it would be helpful if AWS Backup could integrate logs more thoroughly. This would allow not only new users but also experienced users to more easily check logs directly from AWS Backup.
JonMcWilliams - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable and reliable product that is good for data security and disaster recovery
We use the tool for our Microsoft 365 customers for their backup of Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint data. We also use it for data security and disaster recovery.  The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable. The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft…

Quotes from Members

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

"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."

"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
 

Cons

"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"Regarding disadvantages of AWS Backup, it can be expensive and not particularly user-friendly."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"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."
"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."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services."
"It could be less expensive."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is okay."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
