"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages."
"The deployment process is quite easy in Azure."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the native backup capabilities."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"Azure Backup is very simple to use and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is its ease of use and good integration with other Azure services."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."

"The solution's most valuable features are networker and continuous data protection."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"Ransomware protection is missing in Azure Backup."
"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."
"Azure Backup could improve by offering better integration for Oracle databases and enhancing features like granular restore and backup compliance capabilities."
"The integration with the record database and integration with other applications will be good, especially with the database piece."
"It would be beneficial to receive alert messages if something isn't configured correctly, for instance, if service principal names are missing, a message could prompt you to set them up."
"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."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"The solution's implementation was very complicated and could be improved."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"After resizing and compression, the system continuously runs out of space. Dell EMC doesn't do automatic cleanup or other things, so we constantly have to manually go in there or work with Dell support on this. The solution has not been working as advertised."
