Azure Backup vs. CDNetworks Cloud Storage

Azure Backup is suitable for companies of various sizes, with varying amounts of data. The cost of the investment should be thought out carefully so that there are no bad surprises with unnecessary files going to Azure Backup. The interface is friendly and easy to configure and it does not require your company to have a backup expert. It is highly recommended for companies with smaller number of servers and better if the servers are already running in an Azure environment.

• Azure Backup excels at protecting both cloud and on-premises workloads, enabling organizations to adopt a unified backup strategy.
• Azure Backup performs application‑consistent backups, capturing full application state, including in-memory data and pending transactions.
• Azure Backup requires no backup servers, appliances, or tapes. Azure Backup includes multiple built‑in ransomware mitigation features.

• Having an admin console that you can use to manage backup schedules across your network would be useful. Going machine to machine to check the current settings is ok but would be better in a GUI.
• Maybe an agent utility installed on each workstation where the user can specify or customize the backup, perhaps just a set of folders, or ignore certain folders, would be helpful to eliminate garbage in the cloud.

Azure backup is easy to implement, accessible by using the web portal GUI, and has the ability to restore at the file level or the complete VM. We have experienced zero issues with the backup process or performing file-level restorations. We have not restored an entire VM to date.

One of the differentials of the solution is the high level of guarantee and support of the Azure Backup solution. Microsoft is a reference in a technology company with a highly trained support team and helps us with any questions or technical problems with the tool. Service is fast and efficient with trained engineers.

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.

• It allowed us to have our VMs protected very quickly and with simple implementation.
• It saved us from taking backups from Azure workloads from the on-prem environment, or even deploying a Backup environment on the cloud.
• It has a low/'controlled' cost as you "pay-as-you-go."
