"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"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."
"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."
"Azure Backup could improve the backup data copies because they are not immutable."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The integration with the record database and integration with other applications will be good, especially with the database piece."
