"The tool has a lot of features."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"The hardware is always updated and it's saved us a lot of money."
"The backup features are very useful."
"This solution is easy to configure and restore. It is a Microsoft product so is easily compatible with other solutions."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"The initial setup was complex."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"My company faces a lot of difficulties in restoring any encrypted VM backup."
"The only thing I would say that could be improved is the reporting."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"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."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better."
"To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
