We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."

More IBM Tivoli CDP for Files Pros →

"The interface is very user-friendly.""The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration.""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 user interface is good.""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.""The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want.""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."

Cons
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."

"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 storage capacity is very low.""The initial setup is a little complex.""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.""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.""The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement.""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."
