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."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
"It seems reliable and easy to use."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very stable."
"The flexibility and the customizability this solution has when adapting to our business requirements is a huge benefit."
"The human capital management module is valuable."
"It is the central point for all our data storage. We have one single version of the truth that we can communicate to all our customers."
"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."
"SAP NetWeaver is doing its job, and it performs well. In the last year, I have not had any problems with it."
"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."
"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."
"The integration feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"When you have to restore it, Carbonite takes a lot of time."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet; its public cloud support can be improved."
"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"I would like to see an improvement on the management user interface, as well as Kellion integrations."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."
"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."
"SAP isn't particularly user-friendly and you have to develop a long list of favorites to be able to get around."
"SAP isn't particularly user-friendly and you have to develop a long list of favorites to be able to get around."
"SAP NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes."
"SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver."
"Technical support response time was slow."
"Every time we do an integration with SAP, it's complicated and it's expensive."
"Though SAP NetWeaver has been pretty stable and mature, some issues arose after some customizations, so that's an area for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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