Managing effective data protection in AWS is increasingly challenging, especially as data volume grows, data sources expand, and budgets tighten. It’s tempting to build your own solution for customization and control. But it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of a DIY approach versus leveraging a purpose-built solution, including the final TCO when all the costs are considered.
