Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.

Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
Portworx PX-Backup is my main solution for data backup and recovery, and it is well known for its reliability and resilience. This tool helps me quickly and efficiently recover data in the event of an outage or disaster, making it an ideal choice for businesses of all sizes. Additionally, Portworx PX-Backup can easily scale to accommodate growing data volumes and changing business needs, providing a versatile option for organizations that work across multiple platforms. The software is compatible with a wide range of cloud providers and storage systems including Amazon Web Services , Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure . The user-friendly interface of Portworx PX-Backup makes it easy to set up and manage backups, even for users who are not experienced in data backup and recovery.
A specific situation where Portworx PX-Backup helped my team recover from an outage or disaster is that it provides great storage and backup services. Portworx PX-Backup can manage backup and data protection and address volume problems. It is a very effective tool because in my R&D IT lab, I conduct POCs on new products before using them for production usage. The self-service capability is beneficial for making an administrator independent. The restoration of backups in a few steps is one important use case for me.
A specific example of how much time I saved during a recovery is that Portworx PX-Backup is a Kubernetes backup solution that allows me to back up and restore applications and their data across multiple clusters. Recovering data in a few clicks, self-service compatibility, migrating applications, and safe and secure data with the 3-2-1 backup rule are the key differentiators of the product.
What is most valuable?
The best features Portworx PX-Backup offers are application-aware granular backup and restore, centralized data protection and migration, enterprise-grade data security, and self-service interface that I really rely on.
Application-aware backup and restore is valuable to me because it offers centralized data protection and migration. This tool provides enterprise-level control with centralized backup management across hybrid and multiple cloud environments, where it gives actionable dashboards for backup and restore health and facilitates easy application migrations.
Regarding the self-service interface, it empowers developers with a user-friendly platform to set backup policies, perform restores, and manage data protection tasks independently.
Portworx PX-Backup has positively impacted my organization by addressing the critical need for reliable and efficient data protection in Kubernetes environments. It helps me to recover data in the event of an outage or disaster, making it a very ideal choice for businesses of all sizes. It is also very easy to use, especially because of the intuitive and user-friendly interface.
What needs improvement?
Although the documentation is really good, I believe Portworx PX-Backup needs to publish more white papers for people to understand the technology deeply, as this is a new and unique solution in the market.
Improving Portworx PX-Backup could involve making the integration with multiple Kubernetes clusters running on multiple platforms simpler for administrators to configure.

I believe Portworx PX-Backup provides excellent support to its users with a knowledgeable and responsive support team that can help users troubleshoot any issues they may encounter.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used a different solution called Veeam Data Platform .
I decided to switch from Veeam Data Platform to Portworx PX-Backup because Veeam was more costly compared to Portworx PX-Backup, and also, the support was slower to respond to my queries.
How was the initial setup?
It was very smooth and easy to deploy Portworx PX-Backup in my environment.
My experience with the configuration process was straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
Portworx PX-Backup integrates smoothly with other AWS services I use.

Next Generation storage for high demanding stateful Microservices running on Kubernetes platform.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
In the current digital transformation world, most of enterprises are looking for next-generation AI-enabled microservices. While there are multiple benefits of microservices, but having stateful applications with reliable data storage and persistence is still a concern. Portworx Enterprise simplifies this problem and pr by providing high-performance, reliable storage which can be used for both traditional and next gen storage solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing much to complain about Portworx as it supports multiple clouds and underlying platform, but building industry-specific use cases and various compliance will help quickly position to multiple solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Portworx is helping us to run stateful applications seemlessly across two major public clouds along with on-premise environment. With this, we can backup and restore seamlessly and it supports AZ replication natively hence less administrator work and reduces efforts and money.

What do you like best about the product?
In K8s I can share data between pods across multiple zones, its been useful so far as it has worked on all cloud-native lifecycle. i mainly use this storage option when there is a need to run Cassandra and Kafa.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing as such interms of product as Portworx however, I find setting or configuring is a bit to complex and one can please work an make it user friendly please.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using it by setting up a VPN from my onpremises infra to one of the well known cloud platform, I have'nt seen any disturbance till now works good and deletion takes time need to wait for long time according to me.

What do you like best about the product?
Provides the best solution which is scalable and to make we do not have single point of failure. Worked very well when we were looking for a single data management layer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initially when we were exploring the tool, the customer support was not that great, which later improvised a lot. The time to test the tool should be more, as we had wide range of use cases and limited Devops resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a multi cluster kubernetes setup and we wanted a tool which worked with k8s seamlessly and after lot of experimentation Portworx was definitely the right choice. Optimizing costs were one of the other factors which we had in mind and it was also checked.
