Project Manager at Capgemini
Has supported secure data storage with incremental backups and centralized monitoring
Azure Backup supports all the features that we need, so additional features are not an immediate need for me. The documentation for Azure Backup seems okay for me; it is good overall, but it should be more descriptive for each item. It should elaborate more on how backup and restore are fulfilled in different scenarios. One of the reviews indicates that Azure Backup needs improvements for specific backup options beyond just full VM snapshots. I believe it should be improved actually. Regarding specific backup options, I say there should be improvements compared to how they provided them in older days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My customer's experience with Azure Backup's data recovery capabilities is good."
"I like the product's restoration cases."
"You have the flexibility to encrypt your backups and choose the storage capacity you're comfortable paying for."
"I like that it's a simple system."
"Azure Backup is a stable product."
"It's useful, it works, and it's fairly reliable."
"Automation provides us more time to work on other tasks, avoiding repetitive tasks and saving hours that we can allocate elsewhere. This gives more free time for involvement in other activities instead of repetitive data pulling."
"This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed."
"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"They need to improve the frequency of the backup. You can only backup one to three times a day."
"We have a concern with the backup when we are working with VMs that are running in Barracuda Firewall because it usually fails."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"The monitoring and tagging features could be improved."
"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"It is a very cheap cloud solution."
"Price-wise, it's similar to AWS."
"The price should be cheaper, but it's affordable if you use the yearly subscription."
