Allows for storage optimization and archiving functionality of DocAve Backup is valuable for organizations with large amounts of data

Setting it up, it gets stuff happening that's easy, but you need to be very specific on what type of data you should migrate, and why, and when, and so on and so forth. So it's not like the cloud backup feature, which is two minutes. It's a bit more to take into consideration because when you move the data, it's out of the tenant. It's not an issue getting it back to the tenant; that's super easy. But it's better to do it right from the beginning. So it takes a bit more thought power.

Cons

"We need more options for the backup schedule."

"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."

"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."

"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."

"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."

"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."

"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."

"The solution needs multi-platform support as it is currently only available for VMware and Hyper-V."

"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."

"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."

"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."

"The scalability of the solution is limited."
