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

"N2WS is a powerful solution with a rich set of features designed to address even the most complex backup and disaster recovery requirements."
"This is one of the most stable products that I have ever seen."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Overall, N2WS has transformed our backup operations from a manual, error-prone process into a reliable, automated system that scales with our growing AWS infrastructure."
"We had a ransomware event in 2023, and we were able to recover every machine with minimal effort."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"Excellent service."
"I like the interface and that they add new features all the time, but I use it mainly for the sync option which keeps my files up to date."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
 

Cons

"Improved disaster recovery options and expanded multicloud support are two areas where N2WS has already made significant advancements in the latest version."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"I would like them to make the controls a bit more user-friendly. The UI is a little dated and hard to use."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"S3 backups, which I know is already in the feature pipeline, would be a useful improvement."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"The solution could benefit from a friendlier UI."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"I would like to be able to edit the files at the same time with the others, but I understand that this is not possible with the cloud solutions in general."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"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."
"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 price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
