Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Setting up Azure Backup is straightforward and the total deployment time was about a month."
"When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"The deployment process is quite easy in Azure."
"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"The hardware is always updated and it's saved us a lot of money."
"You can select the tiering for your backup and manage your cost."
"The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."
"Azure Backup could improve the backup data copies because they are not immutable."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"Lacks an AI system that would enable easier upgrading of the hardware."
"The time required to restore files should be a little faster."
"We have a concern with the backup when were are working with VMs that are running in Barracuda Firewall because it usually fails."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"I believe more options could be available to understand better what's happening in the system. Additionally, automating the client updates and connector updates would be beneficial. Updating the connector from time to time can be challenging, and it could be made more transparent and straightforward for users. Moreover, another drawback lies in the time it takes to test full data backup recovery. Deploying a full recovery takes longer. We need to allocate a longer period for complete data recovery to establish the environment again."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
