Pros / Cons
  • Azure Backup can reduce the burden on your IT staff by automating backups and providing centralized management.
  • 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.

  • The automated backups and straightforward restore options significantly reduce both business risk and downtime in the event of data loss or a security incident. While I see room for improvement in advanced customization and reporting, the platform has proven to be a dependable layer in our security and compliance strategy.
  • The fact that if a mailbox is deleted the client is charged for it forever, but if they mark it shared and remove the license they are no longer billed leads to a lot of confusion and frustration from our clients. If your intention is to bill for deleted mailboxes, then you should just do that and not have this workaround.
