"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."

"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."

"The initial setup is easy."
"With the ability to stage an entire lifecycle through versioning, integrated with AWS, it has made it possible to protect our corporation from end to end."

"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."

"The service disconnects a lot."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"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."
