"The most valuable feature is the ease in which it backs up our data."

"The product could improve its performance."
"The time required to restore files should be a little faster."
"The Azure Backup support for on-premises service is limited."
"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"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."
