A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup

The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

Director, Cybersecurity Consulting at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Provides comprehensive visibility and protection, helps in identifying the gaps in security, and comes with excellent onboarding support

In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."

"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."

"The stability has always been very good."

"The solution has good scalability."

"Code42 Next-Gen DLP is scalable."

"Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer."

"It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets."

"Works in the background and users are able to perform restores."

"Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"

"There are a couple of things. One of them is that they have what they call Incydr. Their detection and response solution to the insider threat area is called Incydr. That gives visibility to the clients that have widely dispersed employee bases due to work from home, or that had a dispersed workforce predating any of the work from home requirements. Even though they might not be inside the organization physically, they're inside the organization. It allows us to get some visibility into what people are doing, what the context is, and how to control what might be the potential for intellectual property theft or file exposure."

"Security tools: Being able to monitor data going in and coming off our endpoints. Seeing what it is and where it's going is awesome."

"Risk factors can be adjusted for all intricate details."

Cons

"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."

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

"We need more options for the backup schedule."

"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."

"Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."

"The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."

"What I think could be improved is how I get support."

"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."

"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."

"I think one we can improve is the compression."

"Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products."

"There doesn't seem to be any feature that is lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."

"The solution could also be cheaper."

"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."

"It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it... We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."

"It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."

"It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."

"They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."
