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

"The solution is very stable."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."
"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"It seems reliable and easy to use."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."
"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 stability is not an issue, and I would rate it at seven out of ten."
"It provides an efficient integration framework with other SAP products."
"The presentation is the most valuable feature. It's very conceptual. We had to follow the instructions very strictly. It's a Dutch or German product and we had to follow it step-by-step."
"The solution is scalable."
"The integration feature 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."
 

Cons

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"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."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"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."
"The product documentation can be improved."
"SAP isn't particularly user-friendly and you have to develop a long list of favorites to be able to get around."
"The initial setup was not very easy."
"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to better integrate Salesforce. It is a key player in the market and a lot of companies are looking for a lot more integration around it."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
