Robert Hedblom - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Simplifies backup, restore, and clone management across disparate applications and infrastructures
It's a simple solution to use. It's simple to configure everything that you need — configure your backups. It gives you an option to backup to the cloud or backup to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage. For example, if a customer is running on Azure NetApp files or on something cloud-based that they want to back up, they have the option of bringing their own licensing and cloud controls and NetApp will give them the storage to back up for as long as they want. When deleting backups, the controls are very intuitive so not just anyone can delete the backups, only the administrator is able to do that. Backing up and restoring is simple. It's easy. It's one click of a button. It's quite good, I like it.
