Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed."
"The deployment process is quite easy in Azure."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"The scalability has been good."
"It's stable."
"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."
"Setting up Azure Backup is straightforward and the total deployment time was about a month."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"Regarding scalability, it's unlimited with Data Protector. You can link multiple installations and let them work together. They can share backup devices. You have many possibilities with Data Protector. It's very proficient."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"The most valuable feature of Data Protector is its integration with VMware. A lot of software these days integrates with VMware, and you can run some of these things on virtual machines. You can even have your backup manager running on a virtual machine and use physical managers to move data around. Their VMware integration isn't too bad, but Commvault has that feature, and many other backup products do."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"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."
"My company faces a lot of difficulties in restoring any encrypted VM backup."
"The time required to restore files should be a little faster."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"This solution is not scalable."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"The challenge is that we can't restore a single file from the VM in the data process when we do VM backups. But with Commvault, you can restore a single file even if you have a VM snapshot package. That's one drawback of this tool. When we do VM backups, it should help us browse the VMs to restore a single file instead of doing the complete VM restore."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
