Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The user interface is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"It is fairly stable."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"Support is great for small simple issues, but anything more difficult, it is hard to get good resolutions without having to badger them and their management."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"No appliance update notifications."
