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."All of the core features are valuable to us."
"First of all, you can schedule a backup for the client. You can schedule it as you like. You can also control the bandwidth, so the backup will not utilize. The internet will depend on the bandwidth."
"When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"The most valuable features of Azure Backup for us are its flexible retention options and the ability to recover to a second region with geo-replication and read access."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"This solution is easy to configure and restore. It is a Microsoft product so is easily compatible with other solutions."
"Azure Backup is easy to configure and restore."
"You can select the tiering for your backup and manage your cost."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"This solution is stable."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
"The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better."
"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."
"The monitoring and tagging features could be improved."
"The product could improve its performance."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"Technical support can be slow to respond at times."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Stability."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
