Sentiment score

NetVault Plus receives mixed stability reviews, with reliable performance often noted but occasional issues following updates and resource constraints.
It is very good and very reliable.
AWS is not difficult, but the cost associated with replicating data to another region can be significant.
There have been very few issues reported in the past year, with only one ticket raised, indicating its reliability.
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery needs automation, integration, cost optimization, user enhancements, and improved documentation for better efficiency and user-friendliness.
NetVault Plus requires improved restore speed, user interface, compatibility, scheduling, security, database support, performance, and development interaction.
This would detail user activity directly in the ACL console for easier debugging and auditing.
In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status.
There is also a need for better security measures, as security is critical to ensure backups are safe and free from malware.
Improvements should come, particularly in compatibility, backup performance, or better troubleshooting.
NetVault Plus doesn't have a support team in my country; having a local contact in Turkey would be very useful for us.
 

Setup Cost

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as fair value with cost-saving options, though cumulative and alternative costs should be evaluated.
NetVault Plus pricing varies; it's seen as costly or affordable, offering flexible licensing and potential discounts for multiple purchases.
The pricing is not expensive, rated around a four in terms of cost.

Featured Reviews

Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
Cahit Yolacan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has supported reliable file backup operations and maintained compliance with local data policies
The strong point for me is the tape record feature. The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business. There's no positive impact that NetVault Plus has brought to my company; I mean, there's no particular benefit I have seen from using it. It's just used in general, and another colleague specifically selected NetVault Plus without any problem in Turkey area; everything is good enough for me. But specifically, with NetVault Plus, I don't see any impact.
