What differentiates Microsoft Azure Backup from other similar products?

It can be used to create backups for on-premises and cloud servers. It is a robust solution that conserves storage by only storing updated data. The storage fees are among the most affordable on the market, and it is really simple to use.

I love its simplicity. it is very easy to implement and to administer

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is slightly more difficult to integrate into an automated chain due to the lack of comprehensive APIs.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Your NAS device that you use locally as a file server, virtual machines that you utilize in [a] production environment, crucial databases, and anything else you can think of can all be backed up with Azure Backup. I'm not sure if there are any circumstances that wouldn't work.

Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Automated Backup Testing and Verification Goes beyond monitoring whether backup jobs completed by verifying the integrity of data restoration.

Analytics Built-in real-time and historical reporting and analytics on SLAs, performance, and resource consumption, as well as predictive capabilities to plan & optimize.

Backup Automation Solution automates backup, recovery and remediation tasks using RestAPI and CLI to integrate with 3rd party solutions, reduce cost and enforce standards.

Backup of Cloud Based Data In addition to targeting backups to the cloud, the solution also has the capability to back up primary data and services already in the cloud.

Integration With Storage Arrays Integrates with APIs from major storage vendors (NetApp, HP, Dell EMC) to leverage capabilities in these arrays such as data snapshots and replication.

Physical Backup for Multiple Platforms Backs up data and system info for non-virtualized systems. Primarily Windows and Linux servers but also, potentially, AIX, Unix and others.

Backup Monitoring and Reporting Backup and replication are continually monitored for status and effectiveness. Detailed reporting is available on successful and unsuccessful operations.

Virtual Machine Backup Automatically discovers and protects VMs as they come online, move, and change. Production VMs are replicated to a secondary data store.

Replication for High Availability Beyond secondary copy backup, the solution also manages replication of primary data host-to-host and site-to-site for live failover and high availability.

Replication for Long Term Storage and Disaster Recovery Onsite backup data is replicated and stored to a public cloud (AWS, Azure). Can also include restore-to-cloud capabilities for Disaster Recovery as a Service.

Application Awareness Application consistent backup and granular restore for application data from core applications such as MS SQL, Oracle, MS Exchange, MS SharePoint.
