We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container.""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.""Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature.""It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works.""The efficiency and convenience are excellent.""I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable.""Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively.""The solution is very stable."

"Technical support in Veeam is good.""The scalability is good.""The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate.""One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it.""The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability.""Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups.""The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive.""The product is easy-to-use."

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 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 The dashboard is a little outdated.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.""It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything.""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.""The stability has room for improvement.""They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

More Carbonite Server Cons →

"The license pricing can be reduced.""It's a new product. It's not mature.""Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us.""In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support.""As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost.""The solution is costly.""They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage.""The customer service and support response time can be improved."
