Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"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."
"The MARS agent makes it easy to use."
"It's very simple to configure which is very useful. It's not complex to configure it."
"It's useful, it works, and it's fairly reliable."
"I like that it's a stable solution and their support is good. I think Microsoft's commercial force is superior."
"The hardware is always updated and it's saved us a lot of money."
"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"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."
"The product could improve its performance."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"The only thing I would say that could be improved is the reporting."
"The solution is quite technical. I wouldn't describe it as user friendly. It could be simplified a lot to make it more accessible to the average user."
"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."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
