Pros

“Its very cost effective, been around for years and has a good market share, meaning the reliability of the product is tested well and any bugs are ironed out pretty quick.”

Mark P.

Director

“ImageManager is a really great tool that comes with the solution which manages and verifies your images. System backup and recovery options are plenty and all work, and this is really important.”

“It's pretty amazing to be able to right-click the file that the backup creates, select "virtualboot", and have a working server up and going in 10 minutes or so. Pretty much a Disaster Recovery dream.”

Cons

“Each machine has to be setup with ShadowProtect individually which takes a lot of time. The uninstall of the product fails in most cases and requires a painful procedure to rip out the rest.”

Bjoern F.

Owner

“If you have a problem then you might as well forget about getting your data back.”

Robert L.

Owner

“Retention policies are easily broken just by modifying a backup job, which can lead to them being ignored and filling storage.”
