Easy and powerful backup and DR
Such a lifesaver, simplifies backup/DR and saves us a TON of money. I can't recommend this enough! N2WS team is incredibly helpful to get you off the ground and support you when you have questions.

Great product!

Great product!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some updates require to launch a new instance to keep the CPM updated. If you are obsessed with security, you need to know that you´ll need a third party IDP compatible with SAML 2.0 to enable double authentication to your CPM users. Unfortunately, you can't protect your root account with this because of a limitation on the CPM side. Rotate root passwords are the only way to prevent unauthorized access. N2WS is a great team that is keeping the solution updated with new features very often to be one of the best AWS backup and recovery software, so I'm completely sure that they will improve or implement a solution to improve it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
N2WS CPM allows us to manage a large amount of AWS accounts efficiently from one console without losing visibility of their protected resources. It was a must.
We saved time and resources deploying the CPM. We have a clear image of how backup and recovery are implemented in our organization. Our customers are using the CPM as a SaaS, and we got good feedback from them, especially, after the last CPM release (3.1)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for the best suite to protect your AWS workloads, N2WS CPM is your product.
Extremely satisfied with N2WS
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to send backup directly to S3 to save money, with the new version 3.1, we don't even need to store snapshot, they are sent directly to S3.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we need to recreate the N2WS instance to upgrade the product, the operation is fast but as we are on a production environment, it's difficult to have time to upgrade the product between 2 backup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The possibility to recover any files directly from a snapshot without the need to recreate a volume. Then the capability too send backup to S3 with licecycle management is great, we send backup to S3 Standard, then S3 IA, and S3 Glacier.
Swiss Army Knife of AWS backups
What do you like best about the product?
N2WS uses the excellent AWS snapshot technology as a foundation, but adds a lot of features that are not present in the native AWS Backup service.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be seen as an advantage at the same time, in a sense that you control the software and where it runs, but it would be helpful if this were a SaaS service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an MSP, we like the multi-tenancy. But it also adds support for cross account and cross region backups, application consistent backups, dry run restore tests and much more.
Perfect fit
What do you like best about the product?
It's so simple to use, and have all of your backup information on a single dashboard.
It also gives me peace of mind while Installed in my own AWS environment.
Allow to save big money on unused resources that were just sitting there.

N2WS is a great solution for backing up your AWS environment
What do you like best about the product?
It is the only AWS backup solution that intelligently uses AWS functionality instead of trying to graft cloud functionality onto a traditional backup software.
The new interface is clean and easy to use

What do you dislike about the product?
There have been a few problems with 3.0 that required multiple patches and upgrades but now they have it ironed out and working.
Support is only available via e-mail which makes it hard to troubleshoot the issue. The few times we have been able to get a Zoom meeting or a phone call have been much more effective.

The best cloud backup management system I've used yet
The great thing about this system is that it utilizes and integrates with so many of AWS's services. The ability to backup and manage resources outside of the account where CPM is deployed is extremely valuable to MSPs and tech companies who are spread out into multiple AWS accounts. Lastly, I love the fact that the development team is so active with updates and adding new functionality, it amazes me how often (and how many) new features appear within the interface on a regular basis.
I gave the product 5-stars because of it's reliability and the fact that they haven't let me down yet. I will say that anyone getting into this product should know that the support is only e-mail based, it's not like calling traditional Veeam support and getting an engineer on the phone. That being said, in extenuating circumstances, they have provided phone support but this is somewhat unusual, given their support model.
I would choose this product again and again.
Fantastic Service
Easy to use and exactly what I need. Also recently took advantage of the new S3 snapshot storage and it works great! Thank you!
Gives us flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads
We use it for backup and recovery, to schedule the backups in the production environment in case of disaster.
How has it helped my organization?
The solution enables us to automate all the AWS workloads. Before, we had to make rules for every workload. Now we save time and are more relaxed.
What is most valuable?
* Easy one-click functionality
* Flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads
What needs improvement?
Deployment is one area that could use improvement.
Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability to take the information out of the AWS cloud.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We are able to use the product in production environments without disruption. The backup and recovery times are better, even if we put stress on the environment.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability looks good. We have 12 VMs on the cloud, and the tool is helping us to improve backup and recovery times.
How was the initial setup?
In terms of the integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment, it is an easy-to-use tool, easy to install, very intuitive, and saves time.
We have some DBs in the environment and it works well with them. We also have some VMs in deployment and the integration with them was easy, without any problems.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs.
It was easy to find everything; the AWS Marketplace is very intuitive for anyone. We procured this solution via the Marketplace because of the facility of the portal, and to ensure full integration between the tool, the portal, etc. The process was very simple.
What other advice do I have?
