We are a reseller and primarily use Datto ALTO for disaster recovery It is extremely simple to use, set up, and manage. They do a good job of it.  The interface is very easy. It stayed the same for a long time, which makes it easy to set up and easy to work with. Technical support was superior…

Automated backups have increased user trust and ensured reliable multi-region disaster recovery
While I think the integration of Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is pretty seamless, the backup takes slightly more time to complete, which could also be because of the huge data in our databases. The networking flow can definitely improve, which could speed up the scale at which backups are performed. Increased availability into more regions would be beneficial. Currently, Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is limited to certain regions in the world, but there could be customers who would want to use it in Mumbai or other parts of the globe. That would increase their use case and help cater to more customers across the world.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Previously, we used AppAssure; we switched to Datto ALTO because it was a better product, at the same price point."
"It stayed the same for a long time, which makes it easy to set up and easy to work with."
"If you want something that works and is reliable, here it is."
"For me, Infrascale had the best package to offer to my customers, including features, pricing, implementation, and support; everything that comprises the total solution."
"The experience that we have had with this product is generally good."
"The overall ease of use and management of the solution using the Infrascale Dashboard is very good. We haven't had any issues. It is easy to learn. Most of our techs who deal with backups are usually up and running with the dashboard within a day or so. They don't have a lot of buried features where you have to dig through things to get to the resolution. It is pretty self-explanatory."
"The best part is the possibility to spill over the lock-ups to the cloud and the spin-up part."
"It works a treat and does the job perfectly."
"Overall, this product is really solid and they're a very good company to work with."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."
 

Cons

"Technical support was superior when it was owned independently."
"The customer was probably down for about three days; this was a very difficult situation for us to be in."
"One of the significant drawbacks of it is due to the fact that we're using two devices to manage the same vCenter, or virtualization environment, and they don't talk to each other. That means I can't easily see what VMs are already being protected. If I'm on Infrascale device "A" and I have protected these VMs, when I go over to device "B," I can't see that those VMs are already covered."
"In terms of what I would like to see, it would be to make the solution available across multiple clouds."
"They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement."
"Having options to replicate between their data centers, once the data is offsite, would be an improvement that they could make."
"User interface and navigation are also not that good."
"Their margin from what they're wholesale and their MSRP is kind of tight for people who have to manage it."
"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection. It is hard for them to deploy a lot of different hardware options. Depending on footprint size and overall capabilities, that is where there could be some flexibility in some cases. However, it is not a deal-breaker."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you have a small server, it's approximately $100 per month."
"They are incredibly fair and willing to work with their partners to make their pricing work for both partners and the end users."
"The appliances have different prices because of storage, size, and memory. For example, the older machines support more virtual machines, whereas the new one only supports one virtual machine. As we have purchased the later appliances, they have probably been a little bit more expensive because they have to be good enough to keep the business running if the physical server goes down. We learned our lesson from the one that went down when we tried to run products and it wasn't quick enough."
"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."
"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."
"It is super competitive. It is worth taking a look at it from a licensing and pricing perspective."
"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."
