We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."With Azure Backup, you can readily make your environment if your setup somehow fails on the cloud or on-premises."
"It offers seamless integration."
"There is only one feature, and that is the backup."
"This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed."
"It is easy to schedule backups."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"It is a stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"It has improved our backup and recovery window, because you can have two Reduxio machines linked up, so every block that changes on the primary storage array gets replicated to the secondary storage array. If one side or the other goes bad, you just recover from the other side."
"Any time I have needed anything, from a simple question to someone to be onsite, the customer service has been exceptional."
"The ability to target existing remote storage with NoRestore is going to allow us to leverage existing storage without an increased financial investment."
"Ease of use, time to market and scalability are all advantages. We can install new software and new applications in no time. That means we don't need buy a new shelf or new disks, just create a virtual machine and the system does everything behind the scenes."
"Takes advantage of deduplication and compression through as much of the content of VMs which are similar."
"Immediate data recovery: critical to business continuity in an age of unknown cyber threats."
"The machine has been easy to use."
"We were also pleased to learn that Reduxio also has, beside dedup and compression that actually works, the "time machine" built in, which allows you to go back a few seconds or a few minutes before a ransomware attack gets you."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"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."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"Azure lacks sufficient solutions for a particular scenario, we may need to resort to using third-party applications. In such cases, these applications can be employed to facilitate backup, replication, and the efficient utilization of internet connectivity and bandwidth. They enable us to effectively manage and transfer data while ensuring optimal utilization of network resources. However, it would be a benefit if we did not have to use third-party applications for these operations."
"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
"The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware."
"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
