My clients use AWS Backup to back up EC2 instances.
View full review »The use case for AWS Backup is the same as Azure. The only difference is the customer's choice and preference.
AWS Backup is primarily meant for customers with workloads on AWS or using cloud-native applications. This is the most common use case, accounting for about 70% of users.
It is also a good solution for customers with a hybrid on-premises environment and highly scalable data. Traditional storage solutions, such as Spectrum Protect, can be difficult to scale down dynamically. With AWS Backup, customers pay as per their consumption, so they only pay for what they use.
Another advantage of AWS Backup is that customers can choose the storage tiering for their data. They can store different types of data for different lengths, depending on how often it is accessed and how quickly it needs to be retrieved. This can help customers to save money on their storage costs.
We deal with confidential client information and use AWS Backup for our KYC solution. We capture the identity details of the end customer and ensure they are securely backed up.

AWS is the primary platform that we use for our internal needs and we are trying to best use whatever comes with it. So far, we are happy with AWS and we have 30% or 40% of our workflows implemented there. For example, we are very big SAP users and we use SAP HANA on AWS. In the future, we expected almost everything to be in AWS, with perhaps 10% of our work in Azure.
We use the AWS Backup as a service to perform native backups and recovery of files and other data. It is also our disaster recovery solution.

I'm also using AWS for QuickSight. It's been about four months since I'm using it for some statistical analysis. I'm still on that project, which is also AWS.
