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

"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The features of AWS Backup are very service-oriented and user-friendly."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that, and I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted, as I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail and within one hour I have my restored file."
"Overall, AWS Backup provides value in terms of time and money through its periodic backup capabilities."
"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."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"The technical support is amazing, it is the best."
"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."
"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."
"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 initial setup is very easy and quite straightforward."
"The product is good for volume-level backups."
 

Cons

"The restore functionality is an area that needs to be improved because right now, it is not very good."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"Only the price could be improved."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"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."
"Only the price could be improved."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is okay."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"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 decent."
"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."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"When comparing to other solutions, the price is at par."
