Fast and Simple
What do you like best about the product?
I can restore just one file from my backup
What do you dislike about the product?
must create the worker instance --> increase cost
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't like to use AWS Backup, so Veeam Backup for AWS is a good alternative solution
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's better than AWS backup, but it will consume a little bit of AWS resources. So, consider the cost if you want to use it. Beside it has the same GUI as other Veeam Backup products.
Industry Standard for a Reason
What do you like best about the product?
The integration and the features are easy to use and make backups and recoveries easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
You do need to make sure that your licensing is correct in order to integrate this to your Veeam console.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were using N2WS prior and the support and features weren't quite mature. It worked for several years for us, but since we've been using Veeam on premise for longer it only made sense to combine them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you check your licensing before choosing to integrate with your on-premise Veeam console.
Reliable product
That was an easy one to setup, integrated with the other Veeam products.
Native backup without any hard points.
All backups we made were successful.
Most of info is on the screen at the moment.
Product feels solid and easy to use.
Easy provisioning and setup
I was able to provision a free service for backing up my EC2 instances and RDS environment. Easy setup, at no cost. So far, so good...
Simple to setup and easy to use
It is simple to setup and easy to use. It has much of info on display. UI is intuitive. It has many tools to assure backup job is running ok. It is simple to organize a backup storage infrastructure. The data protection is on highest level, reliability is the same.
We highly recommend this product.
Unreliable
When it works its great; however, a backup solution must be reliable. About every two or three weeks, the web interface of the Veeam stack server becomes unreachable and the backup jobs stop processing. The lack of documentation makes a problem of this nature extremely difficult to troubleshoot. Needless to say, I will be exploring other backup options.
Never able to make it to work
Impossible to get a working configuration for me. No place where to find help. At last I gave up with this product.
Solid Backup in the Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to setup and once set it just does the work for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really, it has been very simple to learn and implement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our clients rely on us to keep their data safe. And they rely on us to get it back in case of an emergency or disaster. Veeam Backup for AWS has allowed us to implement this offer with our managed services.
Brilliant for those shifting to AWS Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
The product continuity from the on premise application to the cloud environment is quite seamless. There is a great deal of continuity in how we can administer the backups for our legacy VMWare and hardware based environments as we transition to AWS Cloud.
Utilising native AWS storage options, it is cost effective and scalable. We had some severe hardware limitations in the past but these are very much remediated by using this product coupled with those AWS native services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not so much of a dislike but more just a comment on the changeover. It was somewhat cumbersome to change over the backup schedules and shift backups from their current repositories on premise to cloud. It was more effective to just recreate the jobs and start new seeding. Whilst this is not the worst scenario in the world, it just meant that we had to re-seed and reset the jobs so there was a break in the backup chain. Again, not groundbreaking, and may have been more related to education and knowledge rather than the product itself. I find you always have this type of scenario when shifting backup software and configurations, it's just part of the way backups work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were solving major on premise hardware limitations and a shift to cloud. It was realized instantly when the storage mechanisms in AWS Cloud were utilized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider this product strongly if you already have a Veeam implementation and if you are moving towards AWS Cloud.
Veeam for AWS is good
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with the main Veeam BR console makes it single pane of glass, ALMOST. Recommend you sign on and confirm on occassion
What do you dislike about the product?
Still a young product. Getting better every release
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up our AWS instances.
