Manages virtual machine backups smoothly and simplifies restoration across environments
It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments. The product's interface is intuitive. AWS Backup has a much higher price if you compare it with the snapshots. I have to pay for the whole environment by AWS. We have a backup solution with only virtual machines. The rest of it, we have a restore point.

Flexible, good data protection, responsive and knowledgeable technical support
They definitely need to improve their reporting. Their dashboard is good. It can always be improved, but for now, it's really simple: you see what works and what doesn't. However, once you get into the enterprise space, you want to make sure that your dashboard has additional, reporting possibilities. You will want more customization and more options available. Because if you move into the enterprise-class space in the financial industry, they will want to know regulations, where the data is held, and how long the retention periods are by marketing group and per type of data. You want to have hooks into the data types, which Keepit doesn't have now, but I'm sure it will soon.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"The features of AWS Backup are very service-oriented and user-friendly."
"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file."
"AWS Backup is most beneficial because we can manage the service, centralize, and automate the data without missing any essential information."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is definitely its pricing point. Invoicing is simple. It is one price that includes both licensing and retention requirements, which is rare in today's market. That, I believe, is a significant differentiation for them."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is definitely its pricing point."
 

Cons

"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."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services."
"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."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"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."
"The restore functionality is an area that needs to be improved because right now, it is not very good."
"They definitely need to improve their reporting."
"They definitely need to improve their reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"The product is inexpensive."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The pricing is okay."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"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."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I believe the MSRP is around $5 or $6 USD per person, per month, and per seat."
