Likelihood to Recommend
When migrating from on Prim to AWS then to AZure the process was a little challenging because of some of the way we configured up front but once we went from AWS to Azure it was no looking back. We didn't have the extra storage to move things around like most companies to but it worked out great and we were also able to store more cold backups on Azure due to the low cost of cold storage.

Until now, it was not possible to back up the server and respond to emergencies, but with the introduction of this software, it is possible to go back. By supporting One Stop for various virtual OS environments, ease of use is greatly improved. Contributes to reduced TCO and high ROI by reducing management man-hours.

Usability
Still clunky compared to the on-prem version but getting better with every release. It does what it needs to do, and does it well. They are stuck with some limitations in the way Azure works so I don't know how much better they can make it but they've just added 365 backup management all from the same pane so it seems they're not done yet.

Alternatives Considered
Backup Exec was a very clunky application and took forever to backup to and restore from. We would backup to SSD external hard drives from a flash array, but the process still took forever to finish. Sending our data to the Azure blob storage via Veeam is a faster and more secure process than saving to the external hard drives with Backup Exec.

First and foremost, this solution fits better into the budget than either of the solutions above. Additionally, I think it suits the market I was in better than the other software that play better in a strictly SMB or Enterprise space. Overall, I think this is a niche product that fits well. It's a flexible product and one that can accomplish and provide value for you in whatever capacity you need at the moment.

Return on Investment
  • We have had fast recovery of documents when needed; sub 10 minutes from start of restore to complete and in the users hands
  • Easily a value add for backing up files outside of the given Microsoft retention period; piece of mind
  • Easy tool to use with minimal training required to use it and set up backups
  • When you do change your cloud licensing it does require manual intervention to update backup data requirements. if the business makes changes then your backup person may not know to make these changes
