"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."

"To create a plan and for all the configuration, one has to do multiple steps, which could be organized in a much simpler way, making the user experience better."

"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"They should work on their visual 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."
"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 has room for improvement."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"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."
"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."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
