"There are several valuable features because of the way we use it. The backup and restore features are definitely indispensable."
"We can spin up our environment in DR without affecting production, which is probably the biggest feature for us. We have the ability to do passive testing.

So, the test functionality of being able to test the failover solution and being able to bring up our virtual machines in a test mode is the biggest benefit."

"An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing."
"If you are doing an AIX backup then you have to use the CLI because it doesn't appear on the console, the way that Windows and Linux jobs do."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."
"In future releases, doing backups of the environment we need to be able to do hot backups of the database."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"The onset of configuring an environment in the cloud is difficult and could be easier to do."
"The performance was generally good, but occasional lag disrupted the flow, leaving room for improvement."
"This solution could be improved if it met all the requirements that we look for including supporting multiple operating systems. We would prefer to use one solution for DR and backup."
"The backup functions are in need of improvement."
"Some of the ability to automate selections and automate VPG creations could be better."
"Some of the features need improvement. One would be, as you're creating a Move group or a VPG, as they call it, it should either autosave or have the ability so that you can save it for coming back to later because if the setup times out, you lose all your work. That would be a nice improvement to have."
