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."It's stable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"There is only one feature, and that is the backup."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"It is easy to schedule backups."
"You can select the tiering for your backup and manage your cost."
"It offers seamless integration."
"This solution is easy to configure and restore. It is a Microsoft product so is easily compatible with other solutions."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."
"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"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."
"Technical support can be slow to respond at times."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"The time required to restore files should be a little faster."
"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 compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"I am working in some of the more rural areas of Sweden, and some of the customers here are a little bit wary of cloud technology at the moment. It is not like in Gothenburg or Stockholm, where people rely on it so much more. In the rural areas, companies are saying that we do need to use the cloud, and they are being very wary about their data, especially with GDPR and all that kind of stuff. Having more control and having an option for backing up locally, even if you don't want to use it, would be something very good. The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well. If you lose connection to the internet or you lose access to your data in the cloud, having a backup copy of the latest data on your server is helpful. You need to be able to get access to your customers' files, especially with GDPR, where you need to know where your customers' details are. If they're in the cloud and you've lost access to them, then you'll go into those GDPR regulations. This is somewhere where both Barracuda and Veeam haven't gone as far. As far as I have understood, with Veeam, you can back up your local servers to the cloud but not vice versa. I haven't worked on it much."
