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.

Ensures efficient backup and recovery processes
The Protect and Restore features are very helpful. I can set up tags to include specific assets in our environment for backup. When I include those tags in my search, the assets are easily found and can be added for backup. I love the restore feature and how easily I can restore files, folders, or an entire image.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"It's very easy to configure. Since it's a managed service, it's very straightforward to set up and use. And my customers get on with it very fast."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"The customer service is top-notch, rated ten out of ten."
"It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
 

Cons

"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"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."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"The support people face some challenges in coming on for remote sessions. They always prefer giving some logs."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"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."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The pricing is decent."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"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."
"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."
