Protege is primarily used for backing up and restoring Azure technologies, including cloud-based services like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, as well as on-premises virtual machines. This ensures that even if there's a server malfunction or cloud server outage, we can quickly restore our data and resume business operations.
Easy to setup, good support and stable product
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups. It should also support on-premises servers and physical VMs in addition to cloud VMs. This would make Protege a more versatile solution for disaster recovery scenarios.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for six to seven months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution. We have around four end users using this solution.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service and support were very responsive.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups.
Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs.
If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was easy with the support team's assistance. They were prompt and helpful whenever I encountered issues.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise you to be aware that Protege is for backing up cloud-based virtual machines. It doesn't support on-premises physical VMs.
If you want just a cloud-based solution, then Protege is good to go.
If you need to back up both cloud and on-premises VMs, Acronis might be a better option.
Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
