Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.

Automated backups have transformed our multi-account recovery and now streamline compliance reporting
While N2WS has served us well, there are areas for improvement. The user interface feels somewhat dated and could benefit from modernization. Navigation between sections could be more intuitive, and the dashboard design could be more streamlined compared to contemporary AWS tools. The initial setup process has a steeper learning curve than we’d prefer, especially for complex multi-account configurations. More guided setup wizards would help new team members get up to speed faster. Reporting capabilities could be more granular, particularly around cost optimization metrics and backup performance analytics. Currently, we need to gather information from multiple screens to get comprehensive insights. For future releases, we’d value enhanced integration with AWS native services like Config and CloudTrail for better compliance reporting. More advanced scheduling options that adjust based on application load would also be beneficial. Better support for newer AWS services as they’re released would help us maintain comprehensive coverage as our infrastructure evolves. Additionally, native integration with popular ITSM tools beyond email notifications would improve our workflow automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
"N2WS is a powerful solution with a rich set of features designed to address even the most complex backup and disaster recovery requirements."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"N2W has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to conduct recovery drills and share information with our customers about our improvements."
"N2W has significantly improved our operational efficiency and our confidence in our business continuity plan."
"N2W has significantly improved our operational efficiency and our confidence in our business continuity plan."
"Having multiple policies and schedules handled for me takes the burden out of managing backups across multiple departments."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"The only challenges we have because we are enterprise level and have so many accounts is that the rollout of the new JSON scripts that come out when you upgrade sometimes can be a little tedious."
"An additional feature within resource control would be to automatically downgrade volumes to a cheaper storage tier through a policy or when instances are stopped via the resource manager."
"They could expand their offering to include Lambda function backups and other native AWS services, as these can be recreated through CloudFormation or Terraform."
"I believe onboarding could be easier. While the platform supports multi-account architectures, the initial process for new customer accounts could be more automated."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"The solution could benefit from a friendlier UI."
"It could be improved to include disaster recovery in cross accounts for Azure in upcoming releases."
"The user interface feels somewhat dated and could benefit from modernization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
