CP
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

"This solution is very simple to use and I will recommend it to anybody."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"The most valuable feature would probably be that it's accurate in its historical data."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is the central point for all our data storage, as we have one single version of the truth that we can communicate to all our customers."
"We can use different transaction codes to check the performance of the system, and if we are unable to access a particular transaction, we can still check the table to see what is happening."
"It provides an efficient integration framework with other SAP products."
"What's most valuable in SAP NetWeaver is the integration. That's been very helpful because the company has one thousand five hundred interfaces running, so integration has been the most significant factor. I've also seen many improvements in the SAP NetWeaver user experience, where users can have reports delivered to mobile devices."
"The flexibility and the customizability this solution has when adapting to our business requirements is a huge benefit."
"It's a very stable solution, since you have it in place and it does what you want it to do."
 

Cons

"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."
"When you have to restore it, Carbonite takes a lot of time."
"I would like to see an improvement on the management user interface, as well as Kellion integrations."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet; its public cloud support can be improved."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"Has become somewhat unstable recently."
"The technical support for SAP NetWeaver is not too bad. The response time was slow."
"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 is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver."
"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."
"There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable."
"The initial setup was not very easy."
"I would like to see an improvement in the price of the solution because it is very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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