Pros | |
"This product has unique capabilities that lead the product category in test data management, cloning and recovery." "They will assist me in achieving whatever budget issue the client may be having." | "It's very helpful because SnapCenter is already integrated with VMware Snapshot, so it's very easy to use." |
Cons | |
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility." "Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment." | "I have an issue with SnapCenter because sometimes a VM cannot be backed up... The way SnapCenter works is that it makes a backup of all the VMs and then it removes all the old backups. If one VM cannot be backed up for some reason, it has already created a new backup for all the VMs but it cannot remove the old backups. It ends up creating so many backups in VMware and it will cause a performance problem if the condition is not fixed." |
