We performed a comparison between AWS Backup and AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."RDS backup is one of the most crucial components of any client's cloud environment, so we generally use that. Additionally, we store EBS snapshots in S3."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"The solution's most valuable features are its backup capability and tight integration with other AWS services."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"The initial setup is really straightforward."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"It could be less expensive."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"Only the price could be improved."
"If AWS could also add some hybrid cloud features to AWS Backup, that would be a significant improvement. For example, currently, AWS Backup only backs up to the S3 and Amazon Cloud, and you can only restore from the Amazon Cloud only. However, some people have hybrid environments. They have some workloads on-premises and some workloads in the cloud."
"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 solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"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."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
