We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and NetApp AltaVault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The hardware is always updated and it's saved us a lot of money."
"It's stable."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Setting up Azure Backup is straightforward and the total deployment time was about a month."
"With Azure Backup, you can readily make your environment if your setup somehow fails on the cloud or on-premises."
"The daily backups have become easier since we no longer need to handle large backups. The use of Azure Backup as a service has proven reliable and simplified our daily operations. Previously, we relied on LTO backups for data retention, but after migrating to the cloud and adopting Azure Backup, the delivery process has become smoother."
"It is a stable solution...The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The product must improve on a database level."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"It can be further improved by continuously meeting its compliance requirements."
"I would like to see more web support."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
