"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."

"The solution is very stable."
"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."

"The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved."

"Technical support is good. They're very responsive. It depends on the timezone responding, but I usually get a response within three hours of creating a ticket."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover."
"This is a reliable system that supports Veeam backup and recovery for Windows."
"Solution provides good security."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 stability has room for improvement."
"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 The dashboard is a little outdated.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."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"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 can't think of anything that may be missing."
"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"I would like to see the ability for incremental backups and reverse backups."
"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."
"Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."
"The compression ratio and application ratio could still be improved in this solution. Reporting could also be improved, for better monitoring."
"A lower price would always be beneficial."
