"AWS Backup is giving the opportunity to backup important data from all the Amazon Web services."

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Backup?

Our company started to explore more Amazon web services and encountered this service. It had amazing technology for quickly backing up the data which is stored. So any data which is lost is recovered completely with this service without any barrier. We were able to manage information accordingly with its amazing features. The symmetry it brought into our system was uptight and we were able to organise the things efficiently. The effortless technology had made our lives so much easier than before. This hardware is the best example of great interface application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Backup?

Some minor issues we dealt while using this service. It had overwhelming protection that does not allow the unrecognizable service to be opened. So we had to manually do this and it took a lot of time. This wasted the working hours as well. Otherwise this is great application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has worked pretty well in the backup domain and done every possible thing it can to help in the progress of trading. It had set an ideal standard for other alternatives and completion has become more tough with its powerful engines. The help it gives in the times of emergency conditions is admiring and we had our servers given in its safe hands. The automated platform for retrieving items and storing the save copy for the crises is considered it's unique tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very useful and simple platform to save my files."

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Backup?

Choosing AWS is preventing the company from acquiring additional hardware. The latter only increase operating expenses.

In addition, data transfer takes place at a lower cost to promote information retrieval after a disaster. We keep our data with an automatic system that allows us to recover them in case of emergency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Backup?

Although the information stored on a server can be accessed at any time, the system may suffer malfunctions. We are aware that technology is always subject to technical problems or failures.

The second main problem is integration with operating systems such as Linux.

In addition, performing a cloud backup requires an excellent Internet connection to enter the server at the desired time. Otherwise, working in the cloud becomes impossible with connectivity and network problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Backup:

Highly recommended backup with excellent performance and easy to use for medium and large companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS helps us develop teamwork with greater coordination among employees. The tasks are performed based on documents and applications that receive updates in real time. In addition, the use of the cloud gives us enough freedom for each team member to be able to exchange information depending on our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
