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."The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"It's simple to set up."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"We are happy with this product and have not found any issues while using it."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is its ease of use and good integration with other Azure services."
"It is a stable solution...The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"With Azure Backup, you can readily make your environment if your setup somehow fails on the cloud or on-premises."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"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 product could improve its performance."
"Azure Backup could improve the backup data copies because they are not immutable."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better."
"Azure Backup is limited to certain workloads. It would be helpful if Microsoft focused on enabling backups for Oracle and other unsupported databases."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
