| Senior DBA Lead at a government with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | I appreciate how this product simplifies backups and offers great compression, but I struggle with its web-only features not scaling for my large environment. I also face missed backups and recent customer service declines. |
| Database Administrator at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees | 2.5 | While I appreciate the significant backup space savings and improved RTO, I'm frustrated by its poor deduplication, inability to handle full server restores easily, missing core features, and very poor customer support for critical issues. |
| Senior SQL DBA at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees | 1.5 | I regret buying SQLsafe. It's incredibly buggy, unstable, with a horrible UI and satanic support. Deployment is problematic, and it didn't save money or space. I advise thorough testing, as I would not have bought it otherwise. |
