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.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very simple and user friendly
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.
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
The easiest EC2 Backup Solution I know
I am using CPM to back up all Instances in my AWS EC2 Cloud and I am very happy with it. During the years I had some needs to restore an instance or even single files and CPM did its job always as expected. For me, CPM is absolutely worth the money I spend.
Easy to setup
The software was very easy to setup and the support team were very helpful providing best practices. It has run without any problems for a year.
Probably the easiest AWS backup appliance, ever
Easy to setup, restore processes are easy. Support is fast and efficient. I would highly recommend the free version for anyone looking to have backups in AWS.
One CON: The freezer or backup archive does not have a schedule. I would prefer this is automated and not a manual process.
1 year usage
I have been using this software for around 1 year. For backing up Linux and Windows EC2 instances and also for backing up RDS instance(MySQL & MSSQL).
IT has worked flawlessly since I've implemented it and very easy to follow usage instructions.
Would highly recommend this for any AWS users.
Quickly became a favorite!
We've been using CPM for 6 months now, to automate EBS snapshots and transfers/mounting in our DR environment. The GUI is straightforward and easy to use, and the tool itself has proven to be very reliable. CPM has quickly become one of our favorite infrastructure management tools!
