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."It is a stable solution...The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"You have the flexibility to encrypt your backups and choose the storage capacity you're comfortable paying for."
"It's stable."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"With Azure Backup, you can readily make your environment if your setup somehow fails on the cloud or on-premises."
"The most valuable feature is that it's hands-off. I log in every morning and there are pre-canned filters that I've created to make my life easier. I have something called server status color bars, and that gives me all the servers and, in a nutshell, I can see: if any errors are being reported; when the last backup was; if one is not working, should there be one, and it literally jumps off the page."
"The product is simple to use and manage. The customers have access to verify the backups."
"The most valuable aspect is the added protection of having a cloud-based backup service. It provides redundancy in case of data loss."
"For starters, this is one of few databases that allow us to backup MySQL databases, most others only support Microsoft SQL. This solution also has a very user-friendly interface accessed through a web browser. Additionally, backups can be easily configured through N-able Backup."
"The most valuables feature is the alerts and monitoring that catches the failed backups."
"It's their cloud, it's their storage. I don't have to buy a space on Amazon or Google's cloud and then use their software to push it. That works well for me. This way, I don't have to worry about another option or the opportunity that there might be a credential leak."
"The monitoring makes it very easy to check whether a backup has gone bad."
"It provides a single dashboard for all types of data protection, we monitor everything through a single dashboard. It simplifies everything overall. It allows us to see everything, whether passing or failing any issues, any problems through a single pane of glass that we don't have to click through or adjust as we go forward."
"There is a limitation of 99 files restores per day which means that we can't complete a huge file restore. We would like Azure to increase the number of the possible file restorations."
"Azure Backup could improve the backup data copies because they are not immutable."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"Azure Backup's licensing model is very challenging because it doesn't give a clear picture."
"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."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
"Integration with a hybrid cloud is something that I found complicated."
"The reporting feature and functionality need improvement. We would like to see a little bit more detailed reporting that offers more CEO or C-level focused reporting options."
"Having the licensing available for partners to be able to take advantage of testing without paying would make a big difference."
"We would like to have better reporting."
"For the MSP side, they could have more of a "security user" that can go in and only see certain clients. If you give somebody access as a technician, they can see all the clients."
"There could be a possibility to create a local NAS backup for infrastructure."
"For small amounts of data, recovery is easy, but when it's large amounts of data, it takes forever. So, if they can have a service where they put our data on a hard drive and ship it to us as fast as possible, it would be great. Even if there's a fee associated with it, it's fine."
"The one thing they don't are Linux servers, it's Windows only. I understand that directive. I have another product that I use for our Linux servers and stuff, but it would be nice if they had that flexibility on the Linux side. I understand the development and the world is geared towards Windows in 365, I know that's where the clienteles are and the business and the money is."
