"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."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"You have the flexibility to encrypt your backups and choose the storage capacity you're comfortable paying for."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"The solution is stable."
"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."

"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"My company faces a lot of difficulties in restoring any encrypted VM backup."
"Azure lacks sufficient solutions for a particular scenario, we may need to resort to using third-party applications. In such cases, these applications can be employed to facilitate backup, replication, and the efficient utilization of internet connectivity and bandwidth. They enable us to effectively manage and transfer data while ensuring optimal utilization of network resources. However, it would be a benefit if we did not have to use third-party applications for these operations."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"The product must improve on a database level."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"The pricing is an area of improvement and the mode of marketing it."
"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
"It's not too stable for client-server architecture. Center Management is not so interactive, and then there are some issues regarding the complex licensing which needs improvement."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
