Microsoft 365 Konsult at Canmer Data AB
Restoration setup streamlines backup management and user-friendliness improves interactions
I find restoration and setup to be the most valuable features because they are easy to use, easy to find, and easy to set up for the first time. Restoration allows me to recover a single file or a whole library or folder quickly, with the option to restore to either the original location or a new location. The latest updates have improved user-friendliness, especially for business-to-business interactions, enabling me to handle backup restorations and setups efficiently for my customers.

Consultant at Tata Consultancy
Positive impacts seen with improved data security and reliable support
I have six months of experience with the product, and as a consultant, the use cases for NetApp AltaVault mainly stand out for me. Regarding the deduplication feature in the product, I am interested in whether clients are using it. There are different integrations available with NetApp AltaVault, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and I want to understand how they impact data security policies in my case.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"Considering the disaster recovery scenarios, I want to assess NetApp AltaVault's ability to minimize the recovery time objective (RTO) and what positive impact I have seen from the product so far."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"You can store backups for a while."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
 

Cons

"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"The initial installation is difficult for my clients who have it on both on-premises and on cloud."
"The product must provide multi-gate connectivity."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The pricing is not too bad, but could be a little better."
"In one use case, and we have several, to run for a particular customer, the price is about $375,000 a year."
"You could compare it to a Dell EMC or ECS, and I think it's probably a little less costly than that. Within the marketplace, it's a medium cost."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, which comes to around 3,000 USD."
"It is a rather expensive program."
"It's quite cost-effective."
"The price is a bit high."
