It allows admins to easily create schedules and policies to optimize costs and apply application-consistent backups. The software provides a user-friendly GUI, role-based access controls, and rich reporting and notifications. It addresses limitations of manually managing AWS EC2 snapshots, such as being labor-intensive without scheduling, automation, or adequate documentation and support.
