Sergio Itikawa - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Solutions Architect at SPEData
Has improved data reliability while requiring better pricing and localized support
The most valuable features of Arcserve OneXafe are improving persistent data, which I believe is very important. I use other products too, not only Arcserve OneXafe; we use TrueNAS as well. I have utilized Arcserve OneXafe's data deduplication feature. It helps my storage efficiency significantly. The product satisfaction with this product helps with storage efficiency. Regarding Arcserve OneXafe's immutable object storage helping against ransomware, the call was not clear, and I had difficulty listening to what was discussed. Arcserve OneXafe improves precision of data. I have used Arcserve OneXafe's continuous data protection. This is beneficial for operational continuity because we use it constantly. I have no objections to Arcserve OneXafe technology; I think that is very good.
Sanjay Sahu - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at Capgemini
Has supported secure data storage with incremental backups and centralized monitoring
Azure Backup supports all the features that we need, so additional features are not an immediate need for me. The documentation for Azure Backup seems okay for me; it is good overall, but it should be more descriptive for each item. It should elaborate more on how backup and restore are fulfilled in different scenarios. One of the reviews indicates that Azure Backup needs improvements for specific backup options beyond just full VM snapshots. I believe it should be improved actually. Regarding specific backup options, I say there should be improvements compared to how they provided them in older days.

"The solution is stable, there are no bugs or glitches, it does not crash or freeze, and it is reliable."
"First of all, you can schedule a backup for the client. You can schedule it as you like. You can also control the bandwidth, so the backup will not utilize. The internet will depend on the bandwidth."
"We use the normal features for Azure Backup, specifically to make backups of the VMs."
"The storage backup is very efficient."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"Azure Backup is very simple to use and user-friendly."
"From a cost perspective, it is a very good solution because it doesn't need a lot of costs because it's only a matter of storage on the cloud."

Cons

"The price is not the best; it is too high."
"The price is not the best; it is too high. It's not the best solution in terms of price, although the solution itself is good."
"Arcserve OneXafe is not used in many cases in the market that we work in."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"We have a concern with the backup when were are working with VMs that are running in Barracuda Firewall because it usually fails."
"Areas of Azure Backup that have room for improvement include the VM backup, which creates multiple snapshots. When I select a snapshot every two days, it creates numerous snapshots, but during restoration, it provides only very few of them for the full restore."
"It would be helpful if it included the ability to perform Office 365 backups so that we didn't have to use additional software."
"I would like to have the option to increase the frequency of the backups. Azure Backup does backups on an hourly basis, but I would prefer it to take backups more often."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The product could improve its performance."
