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.

Seamless integration supports small teams with existing skills
The most valuable feature we've found with Veritas CloudPoint so far is the lack of a learning curve because the team was already familiar with all of the consoles and how to build policies. As they started to use it in Azure, they were able to continue doing things as they were used to doing them rather than having to learn a new tool. The efficiency gain we've experienced is that we were able to start deploying backup policies to Azure without having to learn a new tool, even though there are arguments about overhead and granularity if one uses native Azure backup tools compared to Veritas CloudPoint.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"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."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"AWS Backup is secure and comes with a vault that ensures data is never deleted, offering great security."
"The snapshots we take through AWS Backup are very effective."
"The product is good for volume-level backups."
"I would rate Veritas CloudPoint a ten because it's done everything it says it'll do, and we've really not had many problems with it."
"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."
 

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 initial setup of the solution is complex."
"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."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services."
"The time it takes to complete the backups could be reduced."
"I don't care for the pricing or capacity license model from Veritas CloudPoint because there are cases where we back up the same data multiple times, yet we still owe from a capacity standpoint based on how much data is managed in our backups."
"They are niche with the work that they do, but they should have more integration with NetBackup and the reporting is something they should be working towards improving."
"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is okay."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"AWS Backup is a very cheap solution."
"The product is inexpensive."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"When comparing to other solutions, the price is at par."
