Perfect for our kind of workload

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Backup from other similar products?
Optimized for azure workload so it's more convenient, When i used I dealt mostly with cloud storage and azure gave that flexibility to choose between Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) or Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) for backup vault & the price was just right because it depended on what I stored
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Super easy to use and support is always available to help you solve any issue along the way. Guess what, you pay zero for restores. So, it's a marriage of convience
What do you dislike most about this product?
The most important issue I want to draw out here is there should be a dedication internet connection for this as it takes a lot of time to do a restore and its most likely that at some points, the operation will fail as a result of connection issues

If you are running azure workload, this is the real deal, I love it despite little issues here and there
