"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."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"The backup features are very useful."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"I like that it's a stable solution and their support is good. I think Microsoft's commercial force is superior."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"This solution has a very good technical support department that is very responsive."
"The one thing for the last 12 months which has been very good for Veritas was the instance-based license. This means that you're able to license per instance, not only per physical server."
"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."
"For us, the main two features that we appreciate in this application are backup and restore. They are the main purposes for which we are using this application."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"It is a good overall suite of products."
"In the global business world, Veritas has a very good name. I think they have a good solid product, and they are always trying to improve it, and update it. ;They know what the client actually needs, and they are up to the challenge of satisfying those needs."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."
"Azure Backup's licensing model is very challenging because it doesn't give a clear picture."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"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."
"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."

"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch."

"The console of Veritas Backup Exec is complex when compared to other software."
"The deduplication feature can be improved."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
