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."What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"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 advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"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 most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"The initial setup is really straightforward."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"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."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us."
"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."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"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 user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
