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.
Boomchi Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for cloud databases and overall cyber resiliency
The solution can be installed everywhere. Nowadays, it is deployed on the public cloud. If it's a small-sized environment, it takes two to three hours to configure everything. On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup ten out of ten.

"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"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."
"Reporting is one of the key elements that are valuable for C-suite executives. In terms of monitoring, the solution provides comprehensive details into ongoing processes, flagging issues and warnings as necessary."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"The automation capabilities streamline our operations significantly."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."

"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."

Cons

"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"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."
"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."
"Only the price could be improved."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"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."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"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's pricing needs to be improved."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
"There have been occasional issues with the user interface needing certain necessary information, requiring us to contact support for clarification."
"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."

"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The product is inexpensive."

"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
