Azure backup is necessary for any company going cloud these dates. It helps schedule automated backups for virtual machines Highly flexible - you can schedule days and frequency Reliable - with good logging and notification functionality Compliance friendly - reports can be used to satisfy internal and external compliance

None really Continous new features added to AZURE Backup to include more locations for backup would be great

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.

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.

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.

Great integration with other Microsoft tools, and even other operating systems. User-friendly for storing data (Very secure,) great for beginners to set up.

Pricing is affordable but can get very expensive right away. The pay-as-you-go option is deceptive. Tech support is at an additional cost.

So far so good, we manage to solve the issues we faced some days

I love that the backup goes directly to the cloud, and even that slows down the Servers and the network is not that bad and you can schedule the replications time.

You get fail notifications, but if you want success notifications there is no way to do it. In case of support need it you need to pay more even when you are already paying a lot for the service

After shifting on Azure Backup we reduced hardware cost but increased the data security, access over the network. Now our data is more secure and we are not worry about disaster.

MS Azure is easy to use and we can customize the backup frequency as per the need. Backup schedule during working hours not impacting much on our network. After using this recovery task become pretty easy. Now we are paying only for that what we are using and we can change this usage limit at anytime. Its automatically restoration service is amazing feature.

It does require a bit expertise to manage the server monitoring on cloud.

A reliable and trustworthy backup source

Azure works so well within the Microsoft world, it seamlessly integrates with most Microsoft applications. The security of having cloud integration gives you peace of mind that your files are secure in the cloud. You can also set Azure to backup automatically at pre-configured times.

Access to training was a bit hard to find, and if you want any support, thats gonna cost you over and above what your paying for the service.

Overall, Azure backup is an excellent way for backing up all business data with minimal configuration required for setting it up. Azure backup can be operated in the Azure portal in a really easy way and minimizes time for backup storage, increases retention period, and improved the recovery of the database. Azure backup service can be used with the Pay-as-you-go model which is nothing but only involves operational expenditure and huge capital expenditure can be saved and invested further to improvise other business aspects.

Backup maintenance in the Azure cloud is taken care of by Microsoft itself and no physical hardware is required. Hence, no cost is required for capital expenditure (CapEx).

There are no cons as such for Azure Backup but data latency can be improved while recovering database from its backup image.

I declare myself a fan of Microsoft, they are very attached to all the tools they take out and this is not off the list. It is very easy to use and allows you to save the information in another site for better backup, it is what I like the most because if there is a failure the information is completely supported. Really very good experience

Until now as I said, I love the applications of Microsoft and I do not find error to this, it works perfect, I am very happy with your work

best backup and hosting solution .

Reliable, secure ,easy to setup and supports multiple platforms hosting. You can access your files from any device update them and update will be reflected on the cloud almost instantly also User interface looks fresh. Performance and reliability will be always good as Microsoft keeps upgrading the servers.

As it is online backup , full recovery might take too much time as compared to offline recovery. For full features you need to pay heavy bucks.

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

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

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

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.

-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.

-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.

We were offered the option of having our Windows Server back up to cloud storage using Azure Backup. It was easy to set up ourselves in Windows Server Backup, and it is scheduled to back up automatically. It seems to be reliable, and the price is fairly reasonable. It is slow to back up, but it operates in the background so it is OK.

It was easy to set up Azure Backup to back up our Windows Server to cloud storage automatically.

It is very slow to back up. Even starting a backup job takes several minutes, with a progress bar moving but with little indication of why it would be so slow.

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

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.

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.

The retention of data in different regions is a business needs and it's easily fulfill the requirements of organisations as well as customers.

Azure blob storage is most valuable service by MS, which gives you the option to manage your backup copy into multiple regions. Your data is securely saved with access only thru authentic key.

Need to implement some steps at local system also. Sometimes it's create problem when not working, but anyhow manageable.

A very neat software for professionals. It can put our mind to ease knowing that our backups are safe with Microsoft.

I feel the best part about Azure backup is Microsoft's promise of having a reliable cloud server for its clients. Backups are easily stored and can also be done using scheduling. Folders can beorganised categorically in the cloud. easily accesable from any platform.

Uses a lot of data, which can be a problem in non enterprise environments. A beginner might struggle with the interface.

I work for a company that supports thousands of users across the US, Mexico and Canada. Having a good backup solution isn't just needed - it's a necessity. Microsoft has shown that they can create a competent product - although it can have a bit of a learning curve. Luckily, the product is backed by Microsoft's excellent support staff!

Azure suffers mainly from it's complexity - which is actually a double edge sword. In the world of backups you need a complex program, but sometimes if it goes too far it can actually be too much for the user. With a little more polish, I believe this could easily be 5/5.

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

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.

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.

Overall, I have a good experience with this solution and all my company too. This solution is reliable. This solution has many layers of authentication and gives us easier protection against ransomware software. In short, Azure works without problems.

The Azure Backup software allows us to easily create backups. We create backups in a local environment, but it's great that this solution gives you the ability to backup to virtual machines. We are happy that we have the ability to restore files.

This software has frequent changes. On one side it's good, but on the other it's not. Sometimes we have the impression that we can't keep up with these changes. Compared to the competition, this product is relatively expensive.

I have used this few times to backup our project data in cloud. The setup was easy and team was able to configure things like backup policies easily.

I love the interfaces and the navigations because users can easily to their tasks. We can configure backup policies such as the period that we need to retain the backups and the security settings such as encryption for backups. Also when we need to recover the backup data, we can easily do them according to our backup policies.

For startups this is very expensive because the cost depends on the period that we set our data to backup.

Supports iOS and Linux . Azure Backup is customizable and you can setup your folders how you'd prefer to for ease of access . You can also configure how often to receive notifications and for what kind of actions . The backups are automated and downtime is almost non-existent .

The search is not very effective. Which becomes an issue if you are storing a lot of files and / or during migrations .If your Internet connection isn't fast ,uploads will take a lot of time .

Azure Backup cloud service provides regular backups of sensitive data.

Azure Backup is the best cloud back up service managed by Microsoft cooperation. It helps users to protect the data whether it of SQL server data or data belongs to the SharePoint location. Azure Backup service lessens the workload on any IT company.

Azure Backup service is costly for huge data backup requirements. GUI tools are not up to the mark.

Azure Backup is perfect for my compulsive need to always know my work is properly backed up and / or saved .It saves on a cloud ,so it is accessible everywhere with an internet connection .

The design is hard to navigate and could do with a full makeover . I also feel that Microsoft are trying to build every new service or product through it and Azure needs a lot of improvement and a pricing re-evaluation before it is ready for that .

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

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

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

overall i think the azure backup no doubt is a great option who are already using azure services because the database management is very good, the backup scheduling works seamlessly and interface is also very user friendly.

The backup scheduling is very good and efficient. also the services are integrated with microsoft azure services that become very helpful. the encryption is also good respecting privacy of data. the interface and layout is also very user friendly.

the compression can be even more improvised for the data. also the backup documentation feels slow. that also need to be improved.

Azure Backup really helps in replicating on-prem data servers to cloud, and other way it helps to migrate applications from on-prem to cloud. Capex will be lower for cloud solutions. Azure is robust , your data will be safe and maintained multiple copies So you can be relax from fear of loosing it. Azure is easy to use.You can schedule backups during off-business hours so it will not impact users.

Not really much but backups are depend on bandwidth, Some times bigger data took long hours , back jobs were not completed till next day business start hours. But it is rare.
