Backup, storage and disaster recovery technical specialist at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
A reliable backup product which needs little management
For most technical users the setup and initial deployment are fairly straightforward and once deployed it 99% of the time looks after itself. Installation of the agents is similar to most other products in that it has an install wizard to guide you, the accompanying documentation is also very useful to assist wherever you are in the agent install and policy setup process. Normally our customers' IT team does the deployment of agents, however, this isn't a daunting task unless you are dealing with multiple servers to protect the product. On a server-by-server basis, the deployment doesn't take long. From the MSP side of things, the infrastructure sitting behind the scenes doesn't take too much to install, configure and maintain.

SAP NetWeaver is going to be soon out of the picture. Now we have SAP S/4HANA, which is the recent technology from SAP. Many companies are migrating from SAP NetWeaver to SAP S/4HANA. Going forward, SAP still supports SAP NetWeaver, and it can fully add more functionalities that it is currently adding in the latest versions also. Whichever functions they are adding newly in SAP S/4HANA, they can add it into SAP NetWeaver as so that SAP NetWeaver also does not become obsolete and becomes useful to the customers who are currently using it. SAP has come up with an in-memory database called HANA, and on top of it, SAP has introduced SAP S/4HANA so that it runs seamlessly on the HANA database. SAP NetWeaver can also run on the HANA database, but if the compatibility with HANA database could be improved for SAP NetWeaver, then it will be more useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"This solution is very simple to use and I will recommend it to anybody."
"Finance and distribution are the most important features."
"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's a good product."
"The human capital management module is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution."
"It saves a lot of time, a lot of paperwork, and it is value for money."
"The most valuable feature would probably be that it's accurate in its historical data."
 

Cons

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet; its public cloud support can be improved."
"I would like to see an improvement on the management user interface, as well as Kellion integrations."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"When you have to restore it, Carbonite takes a lot of time."
"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"We have had issues with the performance, and performance is key: We are limited by the number of instances running because it is at the end of service life. The product is not as scalable as we would like it to be."
"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."
"Scalability would be a good improvement in future releases, if they do release future versions. They tried to create a seamless style, but it's not necessarily scalable to big development environments that we're trying to achieve."
"SAP NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes."
"There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable."
"The product documentation can be improved."
"The setup process will be complex for any customer because they have to automate all their business processes fully into SAP NetWeaver."
"SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is open source."
"Its price is reasonable."
"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."
"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a nine to ten since it is an expensive solution."
"SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."
"It's a very expensive solution."
