Is a DBaaS provider worthwhile?

Hello!
For an application I need a database. I decided to use Elasticsearch as full text search database.
I would like to outsource this to a cloud in order to save myself the purchase of hardware and therefore costs. I would like to use Microsoft Azure for this.
When I started to work on this, I read that there are so-called DBaaS providers (Database as a Service), which take over the administration and monitoring of databases in clouds, such as.
Has anyone ever worked with them? Is it worthwhile? Do they also create backups so that the data can be restored in an emergency?
Would be great if someone could report to me!
