We performed a comparison between AWS Backup and N2WS Backup & 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."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."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"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."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"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."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"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."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"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."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"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."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"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."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
