Pros

“The automatic agent updates and simple onboarding process for new devices have also significantly reduced administrative overhead for our team. While there is room for improvement in the recovery experience for offline or decommissioned devices, the platform as a whole has proven to be dependable, easy to manage, and well-suited for organizations looking for a modern backup solution.”
KB

Ken B.

Operations Manager

“I especially appreciate the centralized multi-tenant management, efficient incremental backups, and flexible recovery options, including file-level and full system restores.”
DS

Darin S.

CEO

“I like the completeness of the backup for workstations and servers, and the ability to archive things 30 days at a time, so I have a complete history.”
RS

Rick S.

Owner

Pros

“Support for incremental backup capabilities is also very useful as it allows us to schedule backup that restore only the data that has been created and changed since we conducted the previous backup.”

“It is an robust platform which supported us with all required features in data protection for our web platform, data recovery, backup and disaster recovery are such features which helped us in overall security.”

Ankush G.

“Its helps to replicate the project data to varioud envrionment like cloud or on- premise which provide the high avaibility of data in case of disaster too.”

Jeet P.

Software developer

Cons

“That there isnt a centralized, easy to read page that shows the total billable count, broken down by each client. And that you cannot delete specific dates from your backup, you would need to delete the entire backup history if you wanted to remove a single file that shouldnt have been backed up.”
ER

Eliot R.

CEO

“There are also occasional delays in syncing or reporting that can make troubleshooting less efficient.”
zr

zachary r.

Service Manager

“Bare metal restore can be very slow, and not always work (more and issue with laptops thans servers)”

Noc Engineer

Cons

“Given that the user interface is primarily intended for VMware administrators, the user experience might not be optimal for end users or customers.”

“One potential drawback is that some businesses may find the platform's pricing to be higher than other disaster recovery solutions.”
