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.

Dashboard is intuitive and mature, guiding you through the backup steps required
The feature I find most valuable is the backup configuration, particularly in Google Workspace. It's pretty much the same as for Office 365, but it shows you a list of the mailbox or account holders in an organization. If you want to back somebody up, it's literally just a checkbox to choose that individual. It's super simple to say, "I want to back up these mailboxes, but I will leave these other people, who are temporary, unchecked." I can't make a mistake. You can recover emails, documents, SharePoint. You can restore any of those cloud services. In addition, the Infrascale Dashboard is very intuitive and very easy to use. It takes you step-by-step through the things you need to do to back up your Google Workspace or Office 365 platform. It has been implemented really well; it's pretty top-notch. It seems like a very mature feature, where a lot of thought was put into the user interface to make it easy for managed service providers to provide easy backup for multiple customers. It's well laid out. And when I have restored files or just emails, the speed of the restore has been very good. It has only taken minutes to complete.

Pros

"Carbonite offers direct synchronization and replication to one or more off-site locations."
"Carbonite permits a quick failover to a backup server."
"The feature I find most valuable is the backup configuration, particularly in Google Workspace.

Cons

"For more granular restores, Carbonite is not the right product, as it only allows for full-server failovers."
"The reverse failover process takes a long time, especially with physical servers, often requiring 48 hours without any surprises."
"The barrier to entry should be smaller. Their ICB (Infrascale Cloud Backup) requires a minimum of one terabyte and the IBDR (Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery) requires one terabyte. It would be better if they could do 500 gigabytes. I don't always want to purchase terabytes at a time, although those are different products than what we've been talking about."
