Azure support: My team had faced some issue and accidently deleted the whole resource group. So we had requested for our data recovery from storage account and secrets and with help of azure support we got all the data in our storage account within a day. 2. Azure key vault recovery: If we accidentally delete a key vault then we can easily recover it if soft delete was enable in that key vault (soft delete is generally enable by default in azure key vault) 3. We can easily recover our data in azure cosmos db, azure SQL DB, azure Blob storage, azure key vault etc. **What do you dislike about Azure Reliability?** 1. At times, in azure if there is a issue or loop hole then hackers can exploit it and azure may inform us a bit late, which can be dangerous. 2. Azure support team at times try to sell their product and suggest a replacement for our third party services. 3. AWS is more prefer than Azure as it is more secure. AWS uses data encryption. 4. Many times it has been observed by my team that azure devOps is slow and not working as required. **What problems is Azure Reliability solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1. Fast and steady recovery of data that was deleted from azure cosmosdb, azure storage account, etc. 2. Azure key vaults are secure and safe, with soft delete enable helps in easy recovery of data. 3. Azure Cosmos db has geo replication option to keep a replica a copy for backup in different region. ### 2. Azure protection and recovery is fine **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Justin M. | C, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2021 **What do you like best about Azure Reliability?** The availability is there for any size recovery environment you may need. External support is plentiful but vendor support isn't my favorite option as it's slow and takes too much time to get to the right person. **What do you dislike about Azure Reliability?** The support option is my least favorite part of this platform. If you need adjustments or a larger scale it can take support a while to get back to you. The intergrators service options make this less of an issue. **What problems is Azure Reliability solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used this for data protection and test recovery environments. When it's resold it normally bundled with enterprise support and engineering time. We have not gained business from offering it. ### 3.

Within an hour, I had the on-premise gateway installed and the agent deployed to numerous server hosts.

Comparable products that do the exact function cost much more. **What do you dislike about Azure Reliability?** When testing the system, I was not impressed with its capabilities to customize backup sets, schedules and recovery scenarios. Its not a perfect solution, but not much is. **Recommendations to others considering Azure Reliability:** Do a full cost analysis of a third-party DR solution, plus the cost to store that data in the cloud. ADR will likely beat that price and provide more simplicity in your deployment. **What problems is Azure Reliability solving and how is that benefiting you?** Initially, we needed a solution to backup our on-premise VMware environment.
