Featured Reviews

MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
SanjayMishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.

"The features of AWS Backup are very service-oriented and user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."

"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"It's incredibly fast."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"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."
"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 are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"Regarding disadvantages of AWS Backup, it can be expensive and not particularly user-friendly."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The speed could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"The pricing is decent."
"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."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"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."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is good."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
