    Chose Veeam Backup for Azure
    It is much faster, easier to use, has multiple scale out repositories that are immutable. Azure Backup works but it is slow when processing backups, and restoring backups. It is not flexible compared to Veeam.

    Chose Veeam Backup for Azure
    While we have a big Cove Data Protection usage it is simply not able to offer the same functionality as Veeam Backup for Azure, in a case a Azure VM fails to boot due to a configuration error or faulty Windows Update we would not be able to restore it with Cove Data Protection.

    Chose Veeam Backup for Azure
    Veeam allows much more flexibility in scheduling backup jobs, It also allows you to copy backups to an on prem server or another cloud if you wanted to, it also allowed you to restore Azure VMs on premise or to another cloud.

    Chose Veeam Backup for Azure
    The other products we considered had higher overall costs and appeared to offer less functionality/customisation. We had also experienced reliability issues with one of the other products so did not have confidence it would provide a suitable backup and DR solution.
