Chose AWS Backup
We use Rubrik for long-term backup archiving & management, and we use AWS backup for short-term backups.
The selection process is not final - we are comparing multiple vendors for our backup solution. However, Veeam has been slightly more enticing due to pricing.
I really like AWS Backup, and I really like Veeam Backup for AWS. I sincerely believe that they are not directly competitive products but rather complementary products. We use both, and I believe that each of them responds to specific needs and scenarios. At this point what I …
Afther thar Veeam, our company had AWS Backup.When migrate to Veeam Backup for AWS inmediatly the operation and recovery time were less. We very like its efficiency and facility to operate. Our administrator and operator have skill on Veeam Backup and replication on premise. …
Veeam Backup for AWS was easy to use and the GUI was much familiar since the Veeam backup was already used to backup different workloads such as File servers , virtual machine and SQL servers, Client was happy with the negotiations done with the Sales person from Veeam and …
It's hard to manage and maintain, and there is no integration with on-prem tooling. There is very poor support and lower effort on external integration. I feel like I should use an open-source solution while paying for an enterprise product. There is tricky debugging in case of …
I like the intuitive interface and the flexible aspects of the software, which combine into a powerful yet cost-effective tool that my staff can understand and utilize to manage our backup and restore environment.
We also have the built-in AWS process running to suit most of the daily needs. Since most attackers would start here we have Veeam as another solution.
Veeam has perfect native integration with AWS and automation capabilities much better than others. Veritas was a great choice but Veeam's integration we felt was better.
We had a lot of gaps in our solutions, after a lot of research and testing, we migrated to the Veeam Backup & Replication solution and it served us very well. Utilizing the NAS reinforcement arrangement by means of Veeam has been working incredibly since most of our IT infra is …
There is a cost involved with data retrieval. AWS Backup is truly that, a backup. If you need to access this data on a regular basis, there are better options out there. For long term, just in case incremental backups, AWS [Backup] checks all the boxes. Just set it up, start your backups, and rest assured your data is safe.
I like the idea of using this product for backups and cold storage. This allows for long retention times and a very low cost. The ability to quickly restore and the efficiency of all the products involved. I haven't come across scenarios where it isn't appropriate. I don't have a lot of experience so for me, it works well in my cases.
We have been using Veeam Backup for AWS for our cloud hosted solutions for the last several years and will continue to do so. The ease of use and available support staff make the learning curve for use nearly flat in our case and having Veeam Backup for on-premise workloads makes the decision easy.
Overall because I can sell it white labeled and use my white labeled software like CloudBerry and the native backup apps on my synology NAS servers to store things in real time and do duplication and disaster recovery directly to it was game changing for my client in the advertising world they are never down now.
The UI and the integration is good with the product. so far has not encountered any major challenges while using the UI. of course, this is user perspective. Few users suggested some different view that it should be change father should have some different options but overall the feedback about UI is positive and no major issues encountered by using the UI or forsake of this usability.
Veeam Backup has never failed me, whenever we have needed to recover data it has worked flawlessly. It is highly available and I do not know of of a situation where our business has needed Veeam Backup fo AWS and has not been able to access or use it in some way.
We have not really noticed much difference and only notice it when doing work afterhours with our veeam being backed up. However, this is not the case as we do not do this often and hence we don't really have any real challenges for performance issues. Overall, we find that the performance is pretty good
Support for AWS Backup is by Amazon itself so it is solid as always. If you have a business or higher level support plan you'll have no trouble getting engineers or other staff on the job to help you with whatever comes up.
One of the best and leading backup solution with central management for all Virtual Servers, Physical servers and Application level backup. Migrated from distributed backup solution running at each site to central VEEAM solution which has reduced overhead of backup administrator and improves the backup performance. Veeam team is very supportive in solution design, taken care of all our requirements and provided the cost effective solution.
We had only one due to the pandemic, but we remember really enjoying the help. Someone came to our site and walked us through the process and we had lots of time to ask questions and got really helpful solutions and tips and tricks to make sure that staff would understand and learn how to use it
The training provided online was good. The training was restrictive to users but was content was good and informative. The information provided was relevent and flow was maintained well. The Question and answers were good and supported well. Need to have more material provided with the training and will support users to adopt train the trainer approach.
We were pretty happy with our implementation as it was simple to deploy and we followed the technical guide online with out much technical assistance from vendor support. We had also tested and streamlined a process based on our own documentation for our own company which was simple to follow overall for deploying into AWS for future instances
I've tried a lot of different products. Backblaze, at least from a birds-eye view is significantly cheaper than AWS/the rest. Backblaze is a little more simpler, but it's well worth it. Linode also provides backup options, however I'm only familiar with their backup on their VPS's (however you make that plural), which never gave me a problem.
I had looked at N2WS Backup & Recovery backup and disaster recovery solution for AWS environments. But while it provides similar backup and recovery capabilities as Veeam Backup for AWS, it lacks some of the advanced features such as instant VM recovery, file-level recovery, and integration with Veeam Backup & Replication.
Overall, we pretty happy with the way it is contracted and the pricing structure. However, as stated we got it on promotion so we wont know until what it is after the 3 years but at this stage we are pretty happy with the product and the pricing from the commercial aspect
We have using this solution since 2020. In that moment we had four Host Linux and today we have forty vm Linux and Windows. The solution work fine as with few vm as multiples vm. The backup operators lovely this feacture, because keep simple his duties. Finally, we use the same solution for AWS, Azure or onpremise. This is great characteristic for skill transfer over backup team!
The only thing is that you have to make sure you understand your AWS costs if your retention periods are not kept under control.
ROI is hard to prove until the moment you need to restore your workload.
Time-saving is something that comes to mind. Before Veeam, we used to spend/waste a lot of time verifying and testing our backup and restore. Veeam makes it easy with its SureBackup technology.
