Cons
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle.""The initial setup is complex.""Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself.""Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment.""While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility.""Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."

More Actifio 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."
