Pros

Ease of use for non-technical users. It can all be done with scripts outside of skedly but why pay developers for the simple stuff when you can use Skeddly

Cons

Would be nice to daisy chain actions together in order to allow more complicated / advanced workflows.

Pros

Very easy to use and after you install it, you forgot it. A lot of details in settings. A very good reliability.

Cons

The price. When we installed it, we've thought that is expensive just for some backup orders, compared with AWS prices.

Backing up my new web apps user uploads on S3. Couldn't find any other solution I was happy with out there.

Pros

Simple instructions to get set up and great support. If you don't want to get involved with the code yourself once you get the hang of creating Actions this give you so much flexibility with AWS.

Automated backups of my EC2 instances and Route53 Zones. This is a lifesaver and a must-have if you have critical data in the cloud.

Pros

Automating backups on Amazon Web Services is normally a clunky experiences as it requires setting up a server, scripting, cron jobs, and knowing the volume ID's. With Skeddly, I login to an easy to use interface and customize backups using their friendly names. Not only that, email notifications are available for successful and failed backups, giving me peace of mind. It also automatically backs up my 15+ Route53 DNS zones, containing hundreds of records. This has saved me in the past when I had to compare our current config to one from several months back to troubleshoot a DNS issue. The pricing model is worth mentioning as well. Super affordable and you only pay for what you use.

Cons

It's kind of pain that everything is in Canadian dollar instead of USD, which is really only a minor annoyance.

Pros

I don't have to worry about it is truly set it and forget it. We've used the functions for over a year and other than verifying the operations run there is nothing else to do

Cons

Costs can run high when a lot of operations are programmed but that's the cost of SaaS. the more you use it the more you pay

Pros

Saving money and never happened any outages or problems with the execution of my jobs. Prices are good, specially because they are in Canadian Dollars, cheapest in Brazil.

Cons

\- Interface could be more graphical and easy to use, built with buttons, panels, etc. - Suggestions to change names of AMI\`s and avoid them repeat names too. Once I was generating AMI's with the same name, one killing other and I was thinking we had more backups in different times. In this case, I've put the "date and time" in the name at the end.

Costs reduction from not running a amazon instance 24/7.

Pros

I think it has a greate value for money, since the free tier is enough for me. It was also pretty easy to setup my use case.

Cons

I cannot think of anything that I didn't like when I setup my account or use case. Maybe the request for providing a credit card and not being entirely sure whether I would be charged after a month or not (in my opinion this was not very clear on the terms of use).

Highly reliable, externalised backup initiation has meant we've never had to worry about whether our backups are current.

Pros

We have used to automate the creation EC2 snapshots for 6/7 years now, it have NEVER let us down and as a result we have never let our customers down.

Cons

Pricing confusion. The month on month price has gradually crept up and up over the years with no change to our service - March to April was a $6 increase despite being a day less usage. We've not had any price changes conveyed to us that I am aware.

We've been using Skeddly for a couple of years and I continue to be impressed with both their offerings and support. We haven't found anything we can't do yet and their support is phenomenal. Sure, you can roll your own scheduling system with AWS, but why would you? The breadth and depth of Skeddly's action engine is staggering and costs peanuts to run.
