Automated and centralized data protection.

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates AWS Backup from other similar products?

Automated backups that removes the need for me to manually write scripts that helps to manage EBS snapshots. I can create scheduled data backup plans , and automate the deleting of aged EBS snapshots to reduce the cluttering of data. I can also setup notification updates to monitor data backup failures.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The centralized nature of AWS backup dashboards. With AWS backup dashboard, I am able to monitor and follow data backups across multiple Amazon web service products, either it be on Amazon RDS for managing relational databases or Amazon DynamoDB for managing Nosql databases. This makes troubleshooting faster and eliminates orphaned snapshots.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Absence of support for instant file level recovery . I am required to recover entire EBS volumes , if a developer mistakenly deletes a single database file, as against allowing me to just recover the deleted file. As a result of this, I have to spend critical worktime downloading large volumes of files, and spend extra time extracting the specific file I need from the downloaded volume.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend Amazon web service backup for teams seeking automated backups with auditing trails that are fully optimized for cost.

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

AWS Backup for Corporate Protection

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates AWS Backup from other similar products?

The most significant strength is a centralized console, which consolidates multiple backup tasks among various services of AWS. This integration makes it easy to schedule, monitor, and track the backups from a central location to enhance the identification and elimination of hitches. One more significant differentiation is a set of lifecycle policies and automation that allow for managing data retention, archives, or deletion without too much involvement of the user. In addition to the overall sector reliability, AWS Backup is well-secured by Amazon’s security measures to prevent the data from sensitive brand values leaking.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What I like most about AWS Backup is its capability of backing up loads of work, such as database backup and file storage, and having the capability to execute all of them under one solution. It just grows with the brand’s increasing amounts of data and becomes a kind of flexible safety net for every new campaign or dataset. This aids in creating a highly secure space through strong IAM control, as it makes mine and other administrators’ lives easier whenever one needs to schedule or check for backups in a rush with its simple and easy-to-understand interface.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is a need to improve the offered level of backup performance’s trend analysis for the different types of data. If there were more detailed information, it would enable the teams in charge of marketing to propose the most suitable strategies for each type of workload. These would be filled by the proposed new IMA reporting and analytics to increase usability and so support decisions.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

With its features, I ensure my assets are protected against loss while keeping up with the continuous running of campaigns. It has been incredibly useful in archiving large media files ranging from picture images to timely promotional materials. Every time I launch new projects and see socialization of content in action, I am relieved to have AWS Backup on the back burner in case anything needs recovery, with great ease.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Trustworthy
