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.

User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement
While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"N2WS is a mature and reliable solution that delivers strong value for AWS backup and disaster recovery."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"It is an easy-to-use tool, easy to install, very intuitive, and saves time."
"N2WS has significantly improved our organization’s data protection and disaster recovery capabilities"
"A recovery process that had previously taken a team of engineers the better part of a day was successfully completed in under an hour."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"This is one of the most stable products that I have ever seen."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products, and we've found this to be a valuable feature."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
 

Cons

"I would like them to make the controls a bit more user-friendly. The UI is a little dated and hard to use."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"S3 backups, which I know is already in the feature pipeline, would be a useful improvement."
"Deployment is one area that could use improvement."
"The process for version upgrades, which sometimes requires deploying a new instance, could be streamlined to allow for a more seamless in-place update."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"The reporting engine could be easier to use, but it does a good enough job for what is needed."
"The EKS environment solution could be improved."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"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 has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"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."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
