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 advice that I have for people looking into using Carbonite Server is that it seems reliable and easy to use."
"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."
"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 solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution."
"The integration feature is valuable."
"SAP NetWeaver is doing its job, and it performs well. In the last year, I have not had any problems with it."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's a good product."
"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."
 

Cons

"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet; its public cloud support can be improved."
"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 Hyper-V backup 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."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"The product documentation can be improved."
"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."
"Has become somewhat unstable recently."
"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."
"SAP NetWeaver should be better integrated with other products outside of SAP."
"The initial setup was not very easy."
"SAP NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is open source."
"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."
