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."We can use it with any storage for the back-end to save data."
"We cannot live without it, since it gives us the confidence to move forward."
"The tool proves invaluable in scenarios where systems need recovery, such as restoring damaged data."
"It provides our customers with the comfort of having reliable enterprise data protection."
"Everyone wants a full backup. It gives them safety and peace of mind, like an insurance policy for that rainy day when they may need to restore a system."
"The solution is not complex, it's very easy to configure agents or VM backup and restore. Upgrades from one version to another are very fast and the product is very stable."
"Forever incremental - allows TSM to optimize storage needs."
"I have found that the most valuable feature is useful documentation and troubleshooting."
"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."
"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 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 interface is very user-friendly."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"Restoring massive files is a very time-consuming process."
"There have been scalability issues. The core product does not support scale out. We needed to create a new system and manage resources separate from the existing one."
"This product should be more user-friendly for newcomers."
"I would like to see monitoring within the platform: monitoring for storage pools and monitoring for the server's health (e.g., CPU and memory)."
"This solution is not mature in terms of disaster recovery and could be improved."
"The administration interface should implement more functionalities that exist only in the command line and needs improvement in how some reports are created."
"There were scalability issues only in the brand new features which were recently released."
"Their support is lacking. I've talked to their developers and stuff in the last couple of weeks and they reassure me that some people have retired, and they're working on getting that bumped back up. But the support lacks a lot to be desired at this point."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"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."
"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."
