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."With Azure Backup, you can readily make your environment if your setup somehow fails on the cloud or on-premises."
"Azure Backup is very simple to use and user-friendly."

"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"It's easy to deploy."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"This is a stable solution."
"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The product must improve on a database level."
"It can be further improved by continuously meeting its compliance requirements."
"The only thing I would say that could be improved is the reporting."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"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."
"Ransomware protection is missing in Azure Backup."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
