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."I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"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's very easy to configure. Since it's a managed service, it's very straightforward to set up and use. And my customers get on with it very fast."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"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."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The initial setup is really straightforward."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"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."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"Only the price could be improved."
"There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"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 solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"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 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."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
