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

"The solution is stable, there are no bugs or glitches, it does not crash or freeze, and it is reliable."
"The most valuable features are the timely backup facility, allowing scheduling of backups, and the speed at which backups occur."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"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."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"Technical support is very supportive and they are giving me the best that they can do."
"The tool has a lot of features."
"To this point, I have not run across any issues that are blocking; my advice to anybody who is considering this solution is to go ahead and use it because it works and is a good service on the platform."
"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

"It would be helpful if it included the ability to perform Office 365 backups so that we didn't have to use additional software."
"The product could improve its performance."
"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."
"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."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it's similar to AWS."
"There is a cost per terabyte for using this solution."
"The price is somewhat high and could be lower."
"The price is pretty good, maybe $30 for a machine, I can't complain."
"We are paying about $100,000 USD per year, just for a couple of servers."
"The product is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"The product is not expensive."
"Azure Backup is a moderately priced solution."
