An essential product to protect AWS resources. Love it!

  • September 08, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
In just minutes, you can protect, improve, and save money on your AWS workloads.
You can manage a lot of AWS accounts efficiently without losing visibility of their protected resources.
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

  • August 11, 2020

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

  • August 11, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

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.

N2WS is a great solution for backing up your AWS environment

  • July 29, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to backup our environment as well as have a great DR system in place. It makes it a lot simpler.
We are now able to leverage different S3 tiering which has lowered costs

Hello,

we have been using CPM for 3 years and never had problems.
The free version is very useful and has all the interesting features available.

For a long time we have sought a backup and recovery solution that will prevent us from being aware of doing it manually.
With N2WS Backup & Recovery (CPM) we are making automated scheduled backups with great confidence. We have also done recovery tests simulating total loss and it works!

Now we can sleep peacefully.!!

Brain-dead easy to use

I couldn't be happier with the Cloud Protection Manager Free Edition. I only have 2 instances to worry about, so the free version is fantastic. And it's brain-dead easy to setup and use.

Easy Backup

  • May 12, 2018
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

CPM was relatively easy to install and configure with a little documentation and basic system admin experience. I've been using to backup back up 2 consumer EC2 servers with 10 day rotation. Have used backup to restore one of the VMs and it was relatively easy and fast.
