Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for AWS

It does what it says, takes backup, and restores it whenever required. Ease-of-use is another benefit that I see, as I have been using Veeam for almost 5+ years to back up the VMware platform, its GUI is very intuitive and friendly. Data write speeds from the cloud are really good.
  • It helps us to tailor our needs and requirements for backup and restore.
  • All features and managing Veeam environment. Also simple model of operation.
  • features and integration makes it really easy to use for backup and recovery.
  • I did not find any caveat while using it, that needs fixing.
  • Limited feature set when compared to Veeam for VMware.
  • Time savings in implementing it, was the biggest positive impact.
  • Similar or better availability of apps in the cloud compared to on-prem.
  • utilizing storage mechanism in AWS cloud in cost effective way.
Its recovery verification features make it unique from the competition. This feature also ensures that recovery of data is possible 100%.
Being an existing customer of Veeam for the VMware platform and having years of experience dealing with licensing and customer support, drove us to select Veeam backup for AWS. Cohesity licensing was very complicated and did not fit into our budget.
