  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
The single most important factor in our decision to switch from N2WS Cloud Protection to Veeam Backup for AWS, was the integration with the on-premise Veeam Backup and Replication system. This allows for a single pane of glass to see both your cloud and on-premise backups and to restore those in either location.

We really felt like Veeam had the best feature set with great usability for the best value. Veeam is definitely not the cheapest backup product out there, but for the price point you get a very rich set of features and the platform is intuitive and easy to use and understand.

We used Veeam Backup and Replication to enhance our current backup solution at some remote sites without a license for the primary backup software. Veeam Community Edition fills the gap with no Community Edition usage fees and meets all your backup, restore and the replication needs. most importantly data security.

Initial analysis has seen that pricing for Veeam compared to other backup solutions is significantly cheaper for our use cases. Compared to other backup productions, Veeam has slightly more features (which we can potentially leverage in the future) and is much easier to use relative to other backup solutions.

We looked at all aspects of the backup business, support, restore function, capabilities and we chose Veeam due to the familarity with the product based on training as well as the cases it is used with Microsoft Servers. Hence we chose this due to these primary features that Veeam offers.

The most important factor was usability. To facilitate backup and storage, we needed to make it easier for our own staff to feel empowered to do this and in having a simple and usable system, we could more easily do such a thing. For us, having a solution that people could easily adopt and use was most important to ensuring proper backup and storage
