Featured Reviews

Thomas Roes - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Switact
Ease of backup and restore improves data management with reliable support
The interface of BDRSuite Backup & Replication is pretty intuitive. Regarding their marketing strategy, I'm very bad at marketing. I always get a little edgy when people try to shove their product in my face. There are two sides to the story. If you don't know something exists, you might not even start to look for it unless you really know that you need it. If you are explicitly looking for a solution, then you'll find it. People that don't know that they should do backup don't have a place in IT. I rate BDRSuite Backup & Replication 8.5 out of 10.
MK
Manager at Fractalio Data Pvt Ltd
Consistent high ratings reflect user satisfaction and reliability
The effective features are file system backup and bare metal recovery. I find it effective because the recovery time when the system goes down is approximately 10 hours, so you can recover the system, and the recovery procedure is quite straightforward. The solution is on-premises. Deduplication is handled by their own product called Corestore, which is a software-based deduplication engine. The deduplication ratio is quite good, and the backup window reduces because of it. To use Quest NetVault Plus backup, my advice is that the product is quite simple; there's no need to access or log in to the backup server, just log in from any system in the same network, and the configuration part is also quite simple. I rate Quest NetVault Plus a nine out of ten.
