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."It also saves costs and is quick."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"Reporting is one of the key elements that are valuable for C-suite executives. In terms of monitoring, the solution provides comprehensive details into ongoing processes, flagging issues and warnings as necessary."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"The user interface is the most valuable. It gives us the ability to check everything. With more than 100 endpoints running that software, I like the ability to quickly check that everything is working correctly. That's one of the biggest selling points."
"The most valuables feature is the alerts and monitoring that catches the failed backups."
"It's their cloud, it's their storage. I don't have to buy a space on Amazon or Google's cloud and then use their software to push it. That works well for me. This way, I don't have to worry about another option or the opportunity that there might be a credential leak."
"The monitoring makes it very easy to check whether a backup has gone bad."
"The product is simple to use and manage. The customers have access to verify the backups."
"The solution has reduced backup times by an immeasurable amount. Its backups are incremental, so you are only backing up data changes based on the last 24 hours or so. If you are also maintaining the stored images, the restores are also only incremental, happening in minutes. Whereas, with a lot of the other solutions that we have looked at, each time it goes to refresh the restore, then it has to build a completely new image. That takes forever. This solution also improves recovery time."
"Because the package includes cloud storage, we don't need to worry about hosting it inside. That was very important to us. And because the vendor has data centers worldwide, our reps in Europe and other places can get to what they need quickly and easily."
"The most valuable aspect is the added protection of having a cloud-based backup service. It provides redundancy in case of data loss."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"The tool is a good fit if your environment is VM-specific. However, it might not be the most suitable option if you have physical servers or an on-premise setup."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"A feature I'd like to see would be a more customizable admin console."
"A better default view on my dashboard would be great. There is a lot of useless information there that it pulls up. They could present the dashboard slightly better, in terms of the extra information after the first five columns. The first five columns are awesome. After that, I don't care about the rest, and there are another seven things after that."
"N-able Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365 is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"For the MSP side, they could have more of a "security user" that can go in and only see certain clients. If you give somebody access as a technician, they can see all the clients."
"Integration with a hybrid cloud is something that I found complicated."
"For small amounts of data, recovery is easy, but when it's large amounts of data, it takes forever. So, if they can have a service where they put our data on a hard drive and ship it to us as fast as possible, it would be great. Even if there's a fee associated with it, it's fine."
"The one thing they don't are Linux servers, it's Windows only. I understand that directive. I have another product that I use for our Linux servers and stuff, but it would be nice if they had that flexibility on the Linux side. I understand the development and the world is geared towards Windows in 365, I know that's where the clienteles are and the business and the money is."
"The only area that needs improvement is that it is a little bit difficult when you get into virtual machines. The initial deployment of Cove is a little tedious, not for standard machines, but when you get into specialty stuff, like Hyper-V."
