AZ
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.
Cahit Yolacan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has supported reliable file backup operations and maintained compliance with local data policies
The strong point for me is the tape record feature. The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business. There's no positive impact that NetVault Plus has brought to my company; I mean, there's no particular benefit I have seen from using it. It's just used in general, and another colleague specifically selected NetVault Plus without any problem in Turkey area; everything is good enough for me. But specifically, with NetVault Plus, I don't see any impact.

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."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The backup of the Mac OS solution in Datto SIRIS doesn't exist at this moment."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"There's no positive impact that NetVault Plus has brought to my company; I mean, there's no particular benefit I have seen from using it."
"Improvements should come, particularly in compatibility, backup performance, or better troubleshooting."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
