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 solution helped us use R2 RBO to back up frequently."
"The setup is a very simple and easy process, it's easy to learn and use, and it is not very complicated to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the ease in which it backs up our data."
"We use the normal features for Azure Backup, specifically to make backups of the VMs."
"Azure Backup is easy to configure and restore."
"I like the product's restoration cases."
"Azure is easy and simple to configure; it's easy to use."
"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

"Microsoft's technical support for Azure products could be improved."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"Azure Backup can be improved by providing an option and a utility so we can restore quickly instead of any manual intervention."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"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."
"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 sometimes provides reliable recovery that can be slow for large-scale scenarios."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying about $100,000 USD per year, just for a couple of servers."
"It is incredibly cost-effective and offers fixed pricing, with no additional fees for the licensing."
"The pricing of this solution is ok, but I'm expecting that the price will decrease in the future."
"It is a very cheap cloud solution."
"We do not have any additional costs for Azure Backup."
"This is an expensive solution in the Bangladesh marketplace."
"The product is not expensive."
"It's around $10 to $15 per month per virtual machine, along with something extra based on the size of the data."
