Achieve cost savings and efficiency with high-level restore capabilities
I use Azure Backup mainly for backing up virtual machines The feature I find most effective in Azure Backup is the high-level restore. Additionally, it has a good impact on our cost savings and operational efficiency as it is a low-cost solution. The area that I believe needs improvement in…

Speedy and easy setup but it needs to mature
One way this solution could be improved is if they could come up with better options to migrate. As for what could be included in the next release, we have shared a couple of points with them. First, the account should be more in balance and coordinated with us. They already communicated to our project management team that they are going to implement some of these features. I would definitely recommend this solution. But as time goes on and new features are getting added the product will be more comprehensive.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The compression features save us money and speed up the backup and restore process."
"I have no issues with the stability at all. So I don't necessarily care about the stability of the product. I look more at whether or not can I recover. And I haven't had a failed recovery yet. I've got no failed recoveries of all my years."
"You have the flexibility to encrypt your backups and choose the storage capacity you're comfortable paying for."
"The tool has a lot of features."
"The backup features are very useful."
"Azure Backup is easy to manage from a single dashboard."
"The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages."
"Azure Backup is very simple to use and user-friendly."
"The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."
"One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support."
 

Cons

"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"The monitoring and tagging features could be improved."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"Azure Backup could improve the backup data copies because they are not immutable."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"The solution is quite technical. I wouldn't describe it as user friendly. It could be simplified a lot to make it more accessible to the average user."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."
"The interface and documentation need to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pay as you go is the pricing model."
"The price is somewhat high and could be lower."
"The product's pricing is a three or four out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is costly."
"It is a very cheap cloud solution."
"Customers prefer Azure Backup because it has a pay-as-you-go model, and they won't have to pay an upfront amount at the initial level."
"The pricing of this solution is good, and it is one of the easiest things that you can sell Azure with."
"The product is not expensive."
