Automated backups have transformed our multi-account recovery and now streamline compliance reporting
While N2WS has served us well, there are areas for improvement. The user interface feels somewhat dated and could benefit from modernization. Navigation between sections could be more intuitive, and the dashboard design could be more streamlined compared to contemporary AWS tools. The initial setup process has a steeper learning curve than we’d prefer, especially for complex multi-account configurations. More guided setup wizards would help new team members get up to speed faster. Reporting capabilities could be more granular, particularly around cost optimization metrics and backup performance analytics. Currently, we need to gather information from multiple screens to get comprehensive insights. For future releases, we’d value enhanced integration with AWS native services like Config and CloudTrail for better compliance reporting. More advanced scheduling options that adjust based on application load would also be beneficial. Better support for newer AWS services as they’re released would help us maintain comprehensive coverage as our infrastructure evolves. Additionally, native integration with popular ITSM tools beyond email notifications would improve our workflow automation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"N2W has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to conduct recovery drills and share information with our customers about our improvements."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"Overall, N2WS has transformed our backup operations from a manual, error-prone process into a reliable, automated system that scales with our growing AWS infrastructure."
"N2WS is a mature and reliable solution that delivers strong value for AWS backup and disaster recovery."
"It is an easy-to-use tool, easy to install, very intuitive, and saves time."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"We had a ransomware event in 2023, and we were able to recover every machine with minimal effort."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"Excellent service."
"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"I like the interface and that they add new features all the time, but I use it mainly for the sync option which keeps my files up to date."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
 

Cons

"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"I believe onboarding could be easier. While the platform supports multi-account architectures, the initial process for new customer accounts could be more automated."
"Pricing can increase as backup volumes grow, so it is important to balance the level of protection with cost-optimization strategies such as tiering snapshots to S3 or Glacier."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The EKS environment solution could be improved."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"One area where we would appreciate improvement is support for additional AWS native services, such as Lambda function backups and S3 beyond archive."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"I would like to be able to edit the files at the same time with the others, but I understand that this is not possible with the cloud solutions in general."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
