Andrea Zanonepoma

Engineer at a renewables & environment company with 51-200 employees

Has reduced downtime by enabling fast recovery after ransomware incidents

The facility to use Datto SIRIS is a function that I prefer. The user interface of Datto SIRIS is very simple and very user-friendly. The restore is very fast. The alerts that arrive in my email are very complete. Reporting in Datto SIRIS is very efficient. The reporting via email from Datto SIRIS for me, my customer, and my team shows that every single backup is okay or if there is a problem because the snapshot for the server is broken or another problem that I can address systematically. Since I started using Datto SIRIS, the time to recover data or servers has improved significantly; before, restoring a file or server was very long with the normal backup system. Datto reduced the time much more when I needed to recover a file or a machine. The cost for Datto SIRIS is very important. Using Datto SIRIS notably reduces time and introduces high-level security. Datto SIRIS positively impacts my organization by reducing downtime for the restore. The restore with Datto SIRIS is very fast compared to other solutions that I know.

Pros

"Since I started using Datto SIRIS, the time to recover data or servers has improved significantly; before, restoring a file or server was very long with the normal backup system, Datto reduced the time much more when I needed to recover a file or a machine."

"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."

"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."

"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."

"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."

"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."

"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."

"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."

"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."

Cons

"The backup of the Mac OS solution in Datto SIRIS doesn't exist at this moment."

"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."

"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."

"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."

"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."

"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."

"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."

"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."

"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."

"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."

"This is an expensive product."

"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
