Data protection & reports helping us for audit

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!

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.

If you are looking for the best suite to protect your AWS workloads, N2WS CPM is your product.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

been working with the product for the past 2.5 years and still completely satisfied with all aspects of using it.

Cost saving initiatives, it really helped us clean the clutter and save a lot of money.

Organize our backups in a single platform with high viability and simple restore process.

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

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.

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

How quick you can backup and recover the data in AWS and compatibility with AWS S3 an Glacier

individual item level recovery is not available for application items such as Microsoft Active Directory, SharePoint, SQL Servers.

N2WS directly integrates with AWS and doesn't require agents to take backup. Also, you can directly backup to S3 and Glacier which is not available with other systems.

Works well, good interface, good service

Daily summary should show most recent 1st

This should be one of your top choices for cloud backups.

N2WS makes backups much easier than using the AWS snapshots manually - much more automated with reports and a daily summary of jobs. Good granular scheduling. VPC backups are great. Can send snapshots to another account or region.

The easy of use and the speed performing backups.

Maybe is a little expensive, but it is a lifeguard for our systems.

Backup speed, recovery scenarios

The product, in general, makes it easy to backup and restore (especially important) your AWS infrastructure. The new GUI fixes a lot of issues, although these were minor and more annoyances than issues. I have used this product at two different companies and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

There's not really much I dislike about CPM, well, maybe the new name. Old habits can be hard to shake. I've been using the product for a while so I'm used to it, which may make it a bit more difficult to be objective to issues. I know my way around the product. The configuration for the Copy to S3 can be a little difficult but given the feature is something not available within AWS I tend to overlook that.

Initially, AWS did not have a decent native backup solution. AWS Backup has made some great improvements but it is still nowhere near as easy to implement and manage as N2WS Backup & Recovery. The ease and speed of recovery make regular restore testing simple.
