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

"Enables immediate recovery and immediate restoration."
"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"I am really satisfied with this solution and support."
"The most valuable features of Azure Backup for us are its flexible retention options and the ability to recover to a second region with geo-replication and read access."
"Azure Backup has increased the productivity of our connection, and on top of that, it has helped to reduce the operating cost of our organization."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that it is easy to create a backup by using Azure Backup. It also has a good user interface and nice features for sending notifications when any backup fails or there is a change in the status of virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the native backup capabilities."
"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

"The area that I believe needs improvement in Azure Backup is the restoring time."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"The product must improve on a database level."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"It would be helpful if it included the ability to perform Office 365 backups so that we didn't have to use additional software."
"Areas of Azure Backup that have room for improvement include the VM backup, which creates multiple snapshots. When I select a snapshot every two days, it creates numerous snapshots, but during restoration, it provides only very few of them for the full restore."
"The product could improve its performance."
"The solution should involve more redundancy types in the backup storage and support open-source OS."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is a three or four out of ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is costly."
"There is a cost per terabyte for using this solution."
"The pricing of the solution does not depend on the service itself but rather on the minimum data volume encountered. This pricing approach seems reasonable and is on par with other competitors in the market. It is a good solution for on-premise needs because it is more cost-effective. When evaluating the overall financial expenditure, including operational costs and the impact on the IT team, Azure Backup is a favorable choice."
"The price is somewhat high and could be lower."
"Support payment works by the level of partnership and the number of shares."
"It is a bit costly initially, but it is well worth it in the long run, especially for fighting against a number of threats, such as ransomware, which the IT industry is facing."
"The price is pretty good, maybe $30 for a machine, I can't complain."
"The pricing of this solution is ok, but I'm expecting that the price will decrease in the future."
