Actifio and Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery are both viable solutions for data backup and disaster recovery; however, Infrascale tends to lead in terms of feature comprehensiveness, and users consider its value worth the price. Actifio generally receives higher marks for support and customer service.
Features: Actifio users appreciate its data virtualization, efficient management capabilities, and exceptional data handling. Infrascale users value its scalable cloud backup, recovery options, and robust cloud-based features.
Room for Improvement: Actifio needs enhancements in its integration with other platforms, a more intuitive management experience, and streamlined user interface. Infrascale could improve in areas like speed of data recovery, user training resources, and documentation quality.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Actifio typically has a straightforward deployment process and superior customer service, based on user reviews. Infrascale’s deployment is also smooth, but it occasionally requires more initial setup time. Actifio’s support infrastructure is often highlighted as more reliable and immediately responsive.
Pricing and ROI: Actifio's setup cost is perceived as premium, but many users find it justified by the ROI, particularly in enterprise environments. Infrascale offers competitive pricing with a strong ROI, appealing more to smaller businesses or those looking for cost efficiency.
Their knowledge isn't great.
Their average mean time to resolve open tickets is an hour.
The right expertise, a timely response, and being able to get to the right person to help you resolve the problem are very important.
The most valuable aspects of Infrascale’s support for my company are the turnaround time and the resolution time.
One person can manage hundreds and hundreds of endpoints without any issues.
Once we sorted out all our problems with Actifio and our configuration of our database and other components, I would probably rate stability about a seven.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
There was a recent announcement in terms of moving Infrascale to the cloud, which makes it easier for the customer in terms of usability.
The most concerning issue is IBM support.
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with multiple clouds.
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
We recently renewed one of our agreements with them, and even though we were going to renew anyway, they added more margin in terms of a discount for us for renewing early.
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
What really stands out in Actifio is that it can provide us full copies of the database without having full copies of the database.
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.
