User Testimonials
	AWS Backup	Axcient x360Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	AWS [Backup] does what it intends on doing. AWS [Backup] is very fast, however, for that speed, you'll end up with a high bill at the end of the month. Compared to competitors, AWS [Backup] is a lot more expensive than others. However, I believe it makes it up in it's versatility - there's no company more compatible with others than AWS. Incentivized Matt Hoffman Chief Executive Officer Read full review	We've had the best experiences when needing to recover emails from snapshots and date ranges which have been deleted. The Smart Search works relatively well and is easy to recover. Sometimes the restoration process can take a while depending on the size and amount of emails but is generally ok. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Centralized management - single pane of glass to manage backups for multiple AWS services. Encryption - integrates with KMS to encrypt backup data at rest and in transit. Cross Account management - manage backups across multiple AWS accounts with AWS organizations. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Backup Restore Customer Service JH Jerry Harper CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review
Cons	Lacks built-in features for granular recovery, such as files or DB records, without restoring the entire backup. Complexity - managing backups with multiple rules and resources, with limitations on the number of tags and resources per plan. D/R recovery orchestration - does not offer advanced D/R orchestration. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Live chat support is not available for all products Support will sometimes take a while and bounce around to multiple teams and people Search functionality is lacking and confusing Incentivized JW Justin Wong Support Technician Read full review
Usability	Overall because I can sell it white labeled and use my white labeled software like CloudBerry and the native backup apps on my synology NAS servers to store things in real time and do duplication and disaster recovery directly to it was game changing for my client in the advertising world they are never down now. Incentivized Daniel Cauley Co-Owner Read full review	This is because the product does what it advertises but does not go above and beyond. It is perfectly usable for what it does but it is still a little confusing and awkward to use. Incentivized JW Justin Wong Support Technician Read full review
Support Rating	Support for AWS Backup is by Amazon itself so it is solid as always. If you have a business or higher level support plan you'll have no trouble getting engineers or other staff on the job to help you with whatever comes up. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Linode requires a minimum data purchase for their S3 storage solution. While the convenience of being able to mount the drive directly is great, it isn't the best for small amounts of data for our different customers. I initially tried there other backup solution but they couldn't guarantee where the data would be stored in relation to the server we were using. The risk being an incident in our near our server could result in the loss of our backup as well.

Return on Investment	With AWS Backup we can restore a resource in minutes With AWS Backup we don't need to worry if a resources is being backed up or not, the plan you can configure can cover all resources With AWS Backup you can plan for Disaster Recovery as it lets you copy the backup to other account or region Incentivized Iván García Consultant Read full review	Competitive pricing for MSP's Client support was top notch and they insured we were able to implement quickly Agent deployment was simple and smoth Incentivized Dustin Blount Operations Manager Read full review
