Service Delivery Manager at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
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

"N2W has positively impacted our organization by assisting us in areas of cost savings when compared to other tools available, and it has also given us an extra layer of protection."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Overall, the product is successful with the SMB market, which means that price and service costs are aligned with the SMB market and well accepted by customers."
"We had a ransomware event in 2023, and we were able to recover every machine with minimal effort."
"A recovery process that had previously taken a team of engineers the better part of a day was successfully completed in under an hour."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"N2W has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to conduct recovery drills and share information with our customers about our improvements."
"It gives us the possibility to migrate/protect customer servers and data in the simplest way."
"Customer Service: Second to none Technical Support: Second to none"
"In Version 7.xx the most valuable feature to me is being able to carry out a test full server failover in which case the primary server is still up and running."
"It takes less time to replicate files between two servers."
 

Cons

"Pricing can increase as backup volumes grow, so it is important to balance the level of protection with cost-optimization strategies such as tiering snapshots to S3 or Glacier."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"The EKS environment solution could be improved."
"Improved disaster recovery options and expanded multicloud support are two areas where N2WS has already made significant advancements in the latest version."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delete, to move, and to classify the object file in the backup directory at the storage feature level."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"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."
"Yes I encountered issues with deployment. The information provided in the guide just stated about 2 or 3 communication ports but even after these ports are enabled there are still issues with the 2 servers communicating via Double-Take."
"Not such a good coverage of the most widely used Linux server distributions, so many issues happen while migrating these servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"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."
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"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."
