The comparison criteria that I made for the enterprise backup software towards the end of 2016 are as follows:
| Feature | |
| Capability | Can it back up its own deduplicated disk |
| has it DR active management server | |
| The difficulty of AlwaysON SQL Restore | |
| Reporting | |
| backup and restore the last full backup with the command | |
| Get VM backups with queries(Tag or cluster) | |
| Hardware requirements | |
| Configuring sysadmin user for AlwaysOn SQL | |
| Extra Properties: Disk to disk replication |
|
| Complexity | Is interface user friendly |
| Is troubleshooting easy | |
| Are installation and upgrade easy | |
| User Authorization | |
| Security | Audit Logging |
| Do I need login to the client for MSSQL backup configurations? | |
| Do I need login to the client for MSSQL restore? | |
| Do I need login to the client for troubleshooting? | |
| Customer Support | Gartner Report |
| Vendor Support | |
| Local Support | |
