Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It seems reliable and easy to use.""Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively.""The solution is a free engine to help work with the container.""The efficiency and convenience are excellent.""It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works.""The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series.""The solution is very stable.""Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on.""It's simple to use.""The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward.""It is scalable.""The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files.""The user interface is good.""It's stable and reliable.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."

Cons
"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement.""In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option.""The stability has room for improvement.""The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me.""It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything.""They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases.""The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud.""The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable.""More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution.""I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server.""In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well.""In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location.""We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process.""The integration needs improvement."
