"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"It's stable."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"Azure Backup's licensing model is very challenging because it doesn't give a clear picture."
"To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs."
"They need to improve the frequency of the backup. You can only backup one to three times a day. It would be better to back up continuously throughout the day."
"I would like to have the option to increase the frequency of the backups. Azure Backup does backups on an hourly basis, but I would prefer it to take backups more often."
"It would be beneficial to receive alert messages if something isn't configured correctly, for instance, if service principal names are missing, a message could prompt you to set them up."
"In Avamar, the file-based restores are very quick and fast, whereas, in Azure Backup, VM restore is super easy, but if I have to do a file or a folder restore, I have to mount the entire VM image. I have to wait for some time for it to be mounted, and then I have to go inside and then check the file and copy it somewhere. It's a bit of a manual process, whereas in Avamar, you can directly select a file and folder, and it'll recover with whatever permissions you want."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
