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.

Restoration setup streamlines backup management and user-friendliness improves interactions
I find restoration and setup to be the most valuable features because they are easy to use, easy to find, and easy to set up for the first time. Restoration allows me to recover a single file or a whole library or folder quickly, with the option to restore to either the original location or a new location. The latest updates have improved user-friendliness, especially for business-to-business interactions, enabling me to handle backup restorations and setups efficiently for my customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"AWS Backup is most beneficial because we can manage the service, centralize, and automate the data without missing any essential information."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"RDS backup is one of the most crucial components of any client's cloud environment, so we generally use that. Additionally, we store EBS snapshots in S3."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"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 of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"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."
"Regarding disadvantages of AWS Backup, it can be expensive and not particularly user-friendly."
"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 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."
"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."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"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."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"The pricing is decent."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap 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."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"The product is inexpensive."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
