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."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."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"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."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"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."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"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."
"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."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"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."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"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."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
