Rias Majeed - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable high availability with seamless synchronization
If customers say, 'I want the server to be running 27/7/365 without any fail,' then we say this is your high availability option, not the backup. I am clear on that. If you are looking for backup, I suggest other product lines that take folder backups. I use another backup solution with that one, so you have this option. The main concern with other product lines is DC change, meaning it goes to the first head office failover server, then to the remote failover server. If the head office failover server fails, the Doctor server will not have an update. That is the area of concern, as more than eighty percent of the product lines do head AC chaining. I used to ask for direct synchronization. That is where Carbonite plays a role, allowing direct synchronization or replication to one or multiple Doctor sites. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
