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."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that it is easy to create a backup by using Azure Backup. It also has a good user interface and nice features for sending notifications when any backup fails or there is a change in the status of virtual machines."

"The tool has a lot of features."
"The backup features are very useful."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."

"The solution is strong."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"Lacks an AI system that would enable easier upgrading of the hardware."

"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."

"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"After resizing and compression, the system continuously runs out of space. Dell EMC doesn't do automatic cleanup or other things, so we constantly have to manually go in there or work with Dell support on this. The solution has not been working as advertised."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
