Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for AWS

Veeam Backup for AWS has simplified the backing up for our AWS instances with the all-in-one administration console, allowing us to identify any issues in backups and restoration processes. Our backup processes on the ec2 instances predominantly are to utilise our S3 buckets as an all-in-one vendor, and this product allows us to perform this seamlessly with backup and restoration processes. The application allows us to see all our instances and current statuses and alerts should any arise. This has changed the way we perform our backups in cloud environments.
  • Centralised console
  • Seamless backup and restoration at a click of a button
  • Smooth integration into existing AWS infrastructure
  • Not overall complex and easy to pickup
  • Pricing structure as it's a big investment for initial startups
  • Interface could be daunting for new starters
  • Centralised administration
  • Reduction in annual costs
  • Increase in data protection
The product is always available and constantly monitoring our instances across our regions. They say a picture tells a thousand words well. The administration console provides all you need.
Veeam Backup for AWS's user interface is better designed and updated more frequently, whereas the other vendors don't seem to change with the times, and it's a little harder to navigate.
