Coupled with the fact that Microsoft created Azure and Windows - these two operate phenomenally together! Administering the backups inside of Azure is a breeze. The ability to mount, restore entire backups, or recover files, has been made very easy. You do not have to download any media to recover something, you do this all in the cloud and it gets mounted in Microsoft's systems. Making this process less than a quarter of the time you would have spent with your 'other' backup solutions.

Read full review Azure Backup works on Azure, the most famous of the cloud systems that the whole world has switched to, which is now a very large part of the Microsoft ecosystem that we have been used to using for years. Therefore, it is less tiring to use the additional service of an infrastructure that we already use, even if it is a part of it, which can be easily integrated with existing systems, which is one of the most important issues we IT professionals pay attention to. For this reason, we wanted to swim in familiar waters instead of another brand.
Read full review Return on Investment It improved our TCO by optimizing storage costs between SSDs and S3 It speeded our TTM with speedy deployment and orchestration It removed needed expertise from our engineers Read full review It allowed us to have our VMs protected very quickly and with simple implementation.
