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.

"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 solution is scalable."
"SAP NetWeaver is doing its job, and it performs well. In the last year, I have not had any problems with it."

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."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"I would like to see an improvement on the management user interface, as well as Kellion integrations."
