"Azure Backup is very simple to use and user-friendly."
"You have the flexibility to encrypt your backups and choose the storage capacity you're comfortable paying for."
"The daily backups have become easier since we no longer need to handle large backups. The use of Azure Backup as a service has proven reliable and simplified our daily operations. Previously, we relied on LTO backups for data retention, but after migrating to the cloud and adopting Azure Backup, the delivery process has become smoother."
"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."
"I have no issues with the stability at all. So I don't necessarily care about the stability of the product. I look more at whether or not can I recover. And I haven't had a failed recovery yet. I've got no failed recoveries of all my years."
"This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed."
"It is a stable solution."

"It is a stable solution."
"The initial setup, if it is error-free, is very simple."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"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."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The monitoring and tagging features could be improved."
"The product must improve on a database level."

"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"There should be an option to use the solution for physical machines."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
"Updating and configuration can sometimes be a little bit of a hassel, but once you know the product better it is easy to use."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
