Azure Backup Reviews

No.1 Brand backup, simple to use for cloud and on prem, very sensible costs

Pros:

Being able to action a single file restore for a backup image is great. restore of image gives you option to restore to Azure or bare-metal, so covers all on and off prem scenarios.

Cons:

had an issue once with the on-prem server agent but fixed after 1 ticket raised with Microsoft. was down to a firewall from the office being changed and the port/rule not being updated to allow the backup to happen.

Azure Backup

Pros:

The ease of ensuring back up capabilities on servers and systems to ensure data is kept safe and protect against ransom ware attacks. Back up is easy and easily accessible. It is easy manageable, with a easy disaster recovery. It is easy to integrate with all other Microsoft products/

Cons:

Full back up is time consuming. The system needs a high bandwidth. Connection failure with certain firewalls. The system is not easy for every user, and one must have expert knowledge.

Infrastructure less protection of azure VMs !!!

Comments: Protection of azure vm was fast and easy with storage redundancy to select from LRS/GRS.Also option of CRR is good

Pros:

Deployment requires minimum effort with no infrastructure to manage it is really good option to protect azure VMS.

Cons:

It also has the flavor of on prem solution but does not meet requirement of other backup solutions in terms of feature and scale. It also has dependencies on domain which is required for on prem backup restricting its capability of deployment on prem in many scenarios.

Azure Data Backup with no worries

Comments: It was very good experience with Azure and we are enjoying using it.

Pros:

Azure comes with the brand trust of Microsoft and its customers support is very good.

Cons:

Should have more easy UI for ease of understanding

Azure backup for Azure services

Comments: Very happy with it, we don't have to setup our own backupsolutions for serveral services we offer, Azure Backup as a service works also as a service!

Pros:

The backup services for Azure are great, they fully integrate with other Azure services we have. This can be Azure Virtual Server, Azure files, Azure storage, Azure SQL database as a service! It works very good

Cons:

The price is such as other Azure services high, but you get a lot for the price!

Easy to Navigate and cost effective

Comments: I can only say SUPERB!

Pros:

its cost effective , easy to navigate.it can backup both your cloud infrastructure and on-premise infrastructure.

Cons:

it would be nice if agent can support backing up VMs in AWS infrastucture to save costs.We have clients who would like that.

Azure Backup is one of the best tools

Comments: The application has a lot of memory space and l managed to store as more infomation as possible

Pros:

Azure Backup is a very good tool that has allowed the company to store and retrieve information easily. It is very important tool that is very cost effective and easy to maintain.

Cons:

It has its complications especially when the network is overload. you will to re initiate the channel connections

Perfect for in-cloud backup

Comments: This is a great tool to easily back up data on an Azure based VM.

Pros:

It is now very easy to enable and configure for workloads running on servers within Azure. There are options to configure the basic settings directly on the virtual machine blade itself.

Cons:

It is not a great option for local workloads. While you can configure it for local and cloud backup it is cumbersome and the reporting is not the greatest.

Great Utility to secure Azure based resources

Comments: Overall it's a very good experience with Azure backup, I never see any failure in taking daily backup and it works 100% as expected.

Pros:

I like many features and one of them is easy to use product especially when Backup option is available at almost every resource. I also found restoration is much easier and simple when comparing with any other cloud provider.

Cons:

There are few features like continues replication, Migration of backup from one location to another location. I also found reporting service is little complicated when there is a need of backup report.

Creating backups in the cloud with Azure Backup

Comments: I've been using Azure Backup and even though I encountered some API issues, the service itself is very useful, secure, fast and smooth.

Pros:

The integration of Azure Backup with all Azure services is very useful and easy to get it done, it's very secure, an user-friendly interface,

Cons:

I experienced some API errors when creating a backup, I had to reload the page or use a different browser.

Backup with Azure

Comments: For the purpose of offline and online backups Azure backup is excellent

Pros:

We use on premise servers and we wanted a solution for our backups that would be available everywhere and on demand for both security and expansion purposes. We loved the fact that we can hybridize our backups and since we mostly use windows server we went with Azure backup

Cons:

We are yet to find any shortcomings with Azure backup for our use case

Azure backup is a must

Comments: My overall experience is a very pleasant one. Highly recommend it to anyone.

Pros:

it's easy to setup. It's easy to maintain. and it's easier to recover data. Best of all, it's reliable

Cons:

There is no downside to using Azure backup. it would highly encourage everyone to migrate their network to the cloud and utilize Azure backup

A seamless backup solution for Windows environments

Comments: Highly recommend for SMBs looking for a simple and cost-efficient backup solution for the Windows Servers.

Pros:

Azure backup offers a very simple and well integrated solution for backing up Windows OS - especially Windows Server. It allows for easy backup creation, backup retrievals with a number of useful features - such as retention policy, flexible schedules, backup source and destination flexible options.

Cons:

Azure Backup has come a long way. The early versions were very glitchy - they would freeze or crash constantly. Rarely, some symptoms of this can be noticed even with the latest version. But MS seems to be improving Azure backup everyday.

Absolute Contentment with Azure Backup

Comments: I breathe easier at night realizing we have Azure Backup set up. I am convinced in this technique after having to checking up and entire backups several times. I would highly advise everyone and anyone who uses Azure to use Azure Backups; in reality, if they do not really, I doubt I would do deal with them.

Pros:

-Protect actual devices on-premises.-Azure Backup is used to backup Azure virtual machines.-Backups should be restored.-Azure Site Restoration replicates servers to Azure for backup and recovery.

Cons:

-A backup plan for schedules would be useful.-Restore vaults must ask you whether you want to receive alerts when you initially set it up; I've found a number of times where backup process errors were not setup to send email alerts a couple of weeks later.

Azure Backup

Comments: Overall, this solution is an excellent offsite backup.

Pros:

It is easy to deploy. Once you setup your account in Azure, you just download your key and the application. You run the application on every server you want to backup. This can be virtual or physical. The application itself looks like Windows Backup. You can set retention limits to be whatever you want. You have very granular control over it. Using the cloud version and not the onsite version is great for file backups. I would not use it for bare metal restores though.

Cons:

It can get expensive depending on the retentions you setup. You also can't change the zone types once you setup so if you are in an older plan like me, it is difficult to move to cheaper plans.

Azure Backup Review

Comments: The overall performance is excellent. It is good experience using it.

Pros:

The intuitive GUI interface of Azure Backup makes it appealing. It offers excellent product functionality and strong performance. It even offers the finest security since in the case of a virus attack in a production environment, the backup is unaffected.

Cons:

It is time consuming since the program takes awhile to restore files. It necessitates a large amount of bandwidth, and connection failures with some Firewall models should be reduced in order to enhance performance.

Enterprise cloud backup done easy.

Pros:

This application is easy to setup and easy to administer. A help desk person can get this product going in a few minutes. It's very straightforward and runs on whatever schedule you set it up for.

Cons:

No cons I can think of. It works very well and haven't had to troubleshoot any issues.

Amazing! Just one word to describe Azure Backup.

Comments: It's awesome. Offering a business-critical platform to our clients creates a big worry for their data. With Azure Backup we don't have to worry about losing the client data.

Pros:

Extremely easy to configure Azure Backup and Cost-Effective. Features like Point in Time backup make life so easy make us disaster-proof.

Cons:

Nothing as such. Microsoft has been extremely innovative in terms of features, usability and support.

Azure is perfect for storing your data

Pros:

It is very easy to back up you data on Azure. and the Microsoft team is very personable if you have any problems.

Cons:

I personally did not have any problems with this software and works great with the company I work for.

Backup your data on Azure cloud

Comments: Overall i like the product, This feature gives us a dashboard to manage all our snaps easily

Pros:

Best way to backup your data on cloud using Azure snapshot technology, It also has deduplication feature which will help you to avoid data from being getting duplicated

Cons:

There are many instances when i try to trigger the backups and got API errors which is strange when product is in production

A low-cost solution for Remote backups.

Comments: I use Azure Backup weekly to manage backups for branches abroad.

Pros:

We use this solution to make backups of branches abroad. The main advantage is to use only one client on the remote computer to capture the necessary files and send them to Azure Backup. It is very efficient and of low cost when compared to the acquisition of traditional backup infrastructure in each branch.

Cons:

The product delivers what it promises, reducing negative aspects. But what I can highlight is the lack of integration and enterprise tools like SAP. It would be an opportunity to allow integration for system backup directly to Azure. Today he just captures the finished file.

Stable and Reliable

Comments: it's very effective and fast
good customer support easy to use and nice interface

Pros:

As it's a product of Microsoft you can expect everything you want from it. it's good and fast works better

Cons:

cost as compared to other backup tools like druva and Shadow protect i don't think anything else apart from cost

Very good service

Pros:

Very good service. The way in which it helps the client and lends itself to what it needs at all times is really incredible, I am satisfied.

Cons:

I really do not have a single complaint about Azure Backup. The services it provides are of very good quality and also has a wide variety of these, I would give it 10/10 and I will definitely work with them again.

Solid cloud backup application.

Comments: Configured this software for multiple clients. Worked on maintaining the software and performing restores.
Software works as designed.

Pros:

-Easy to setup. -Very reliable. -Works as it should. -Much better than Windows backup that comes with your server. -Can backup locally and to the cloud.

Cons:

-Not as feature reach as other cloud backup applications, and not sure if it has restores to dissimilar hardware.

Cloud-based solution for reliable data storage

Comments: A great back up solution for files and websites

Pros:

Azure Backup allows you to back up and restore your data in the Microsoft cloud. It includes lots of features and is a great option if you maintain your own website. Automatic storage management of the data you choose at the frequency you define. Data encryption.

Cons:

Even though Azure has a pay-as-you-go model, the costs can add up. If you want customer support, you have to pay for it separately.
