More StorageCraft ShadowXafe [EOL] Pros →

"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups.""The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization.""The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements.""The solution has a very easy-to-navigate user interface.""It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments.""The NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage.""We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied.""I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."

Cons
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery.""Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."

More StorageCraft ShadowXafe [EOL] Cons →

"It's hard to get to the backups. There are too many tabs.""I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it.""The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot.""The reporting feature can be improved.""It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system.""The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower.""The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic.""The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it."
