Azure Backup vs. Vawlt

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.

Vawlt's multi-cloud storage solution helps customers keep data secured (against cyber attacks and Ransomware), with state-of-the-art encryption, implements different backup storage strategies, and also facilitates companies on their journey to the Cloud.

• Azure Backup is fast! 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.

Incentivized

• Multi-cloud storage.
• Predictable costs (monthly download quota included).
• Security.
• Ransomware protection.
• Simple usage and no need of complex configurations.

• backup schedule calendar would be cool
• Backup vaults should ask if you want to send notifications when you first set it up, there have been a couple of times when I noticed a month later that, backup job failures were not configured to send email notifications.

Incentivized

• Multi-factor authentication.
• Active Directory integration.
• Mobile app.

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.

Vawlt is simple, assures safety and reliability, and is cost-efficient. The solution has a shallow learning curve and low time-to-value deployments. It helps keep customer data secure, with state-of-the-art encryption and ransomware protection, while avoiding vendor lock-in at the same time. Indeed it helps customers to save money by having access to a top-quality cloud service with a predictable and pay-as-you-grow model, naturally scalable to every storage workload and usage.

• 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."

Incentivized

• Reduce costs by using different volume types.
• Predictable costs (Pay as you grow & download quota included).
• Single billing account for multiple cloud providers.
