Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 15, 2024

Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery and Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines compete in the disaster recovery category. Infrascale seems to have the upper hand in pricing and support, offering a better value, while Dell RecoverPoint offers a more comprehensive feature set despite higher costs.

Features: Infrascale is known for its ease of use, intuitive dashboard, and the Critical Server Insurance feature that protects physical and virtual servers. It offers flexible options for cloud and local failover and good backup and restore speeds. Dell RecoverPoint offers real-time data protection, continuous replication, and tight integration with VMware, providing local and remote data protection along with point-in-time recovery.

Room for Improvement: Infrascale could simplify its licensing process, improve bandwidth management, and enhance product integration. A more direct backup-to-cloud process is also needed. Dell RecoverPoint requires a more intuitive user interface, easier deployment, and better cloud capabilities. Enhancements in backward compatibility, reporting, and security, alongside competitive pricing, would be beneficial.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Infrascale provides flexible deployment across hybrid, private, and on-premises clouds, receiving positive feedback for its responsive customer service. Dell RecoverPoint primarily offers on-premises deployment with good support, but Infrascale holds an advantage with its variety of deployment options and better service responsiveness.

Pricing and ROI: Infrascale is acknowledged for its competitive and flexible pricing models, aligning well with MSPs and offering clear ROI benefits. Although Dell RecoverPoint justifies its higher costs with effective VMware protection, it remains less favorable cost-wise compared to Infrascale, which consistently provides strong ROI benefits.

The overall ease of use and ease of management using the dashboard is excellent

I can't really think of anything that really needs to be improved from my perspective, because I only use the backup. Maybe someone who is using something else might have a different opinion on that. But for the online backup and recovery tool, I'm not going to say there's anything that needs improvement. They can always improve stuff. But from the top of my head, I can't think of anything. It does what it needs to do. That's it. It doesn't need to do anything more than what it does and nothing less than what it's doing. The Infrascale dashboard when it comes to centralized deployment and configuration is excellent. I have no problems with the solution. They could always make it better. They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement, but there's nothing on the top of my head that's saying, "Hey, this is what needs to be fixed." But, the programmers are probably working on their own things. So, there's always room for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."

"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."

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

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

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

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

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

"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines pros

"Given that we are in the hurricane belt, the spin-up of replicated servers in the cloud is among the most valuable features. If our site goes down we can just connect to the cloud appliance, spin up the servers, and we are good to go."

"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery, where we have the ability to boot up VMs quickly in a disaster."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."

"Its Critical Server Insurance feature for protecting physical and virtual servers, including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V is mandatory for me and it makes me happy. If I had a backup solution that didn't do that, it would not be a backup solution and would not be any good."

"The recovery of data is the most valuable feature. The software backup, which is just a program that gets installed on a server, can back up to the cloud. You can install that on a server or PC, and that will simply back up a user's files and folders. If it is installed on the server, we just back up the relevant data. Recovering that, if there has been a malicious attack on a business or anything like that, has been invaluable in the past. The good features about that are obviously, if the physical hardware has a problem, then we can utilize the appliance, turn on the virtual machine, and carry on running the business while we put the hardware back and correct the issue."

"The overall ease of use and ease of management of the solution using the Infrascale dashboard is excellent. I'd rate it 10 out of 10 because the dashboard is very simple to use. For someone with a technical background, it's a wonderful piece of software to be using in a cloud environment. But if you're not technical, then it might be a problem. It could be confusing for non-technical people. If you don't know what you're doing, you could kind of screw it up. Any human with two brain cells can do it. It's like anything else. So, once you train a human, they're good. Anybody can do it. Anybody with a competent brain can use it and go with a little bit of technical skill. It might be confusing in the beginning, but once you're trained up and you've used it a little bit, like anything else in your life, it'll be easy. They'll come as normal."

"Get Infrascale and talk to their team. They will support you, and they will make you the happiest customer out there."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to boot locally, as well as in Infrascale's cloud. This means that we can either do on-site failover or failover to their cloud."

Cons

"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."

"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."

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

"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."

"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."

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

"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."

"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines cons

"When you are ordering hardware appliances, they have to be delivered from America. In the past, hard drives on the appliance have been simple SSD drives that are installed. However, they don't have a local supply for the SSD drives in the UK. They have to be exported from the US, arrive, and then I have to go and install them. Then, they will rebuild it from their side of things. However, I could order that same SSD drive online and get it the next day. So, I have to wait days for things to come when I could get the exact same drive the next day in the UK, if I wanted to. That causes a bit of a problem. I don't know how many businesses they have in the UK, but I do think that having to import stuff from the US is a time-consuming problem. If there was a holding in the UK, then we wouldn't have that delay in time."

"The only point of improvement I can think of for Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is that the restore process could sometimes be easier to do and faster. A file-only restore or directory-only restore can sometimes take quite some time; however, a server restore goes fast."

"The only thing I would suggest, and I have talked to my manager about it already, is that they should have a direct backup-to-cloud solution. It should be something that does not require me to do an image backup, and then individual file and folder backups, to be able to restore individual files."

"I would like to be able to limit the bandwidth in cases, for example, where we are uploading the backup."

"I would like to see more features for the section on the viruses and maybe another in reference to two-factor authentication."

"There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server."

"I'm a little bit disappointed that over the last year and a half, there hasn't been too much contact from them regarding what's going to be new or coming out."

"In terms of what I would like to see, it would be to make the solution available across multiple clouds."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"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."

"This is an expensive product."

"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."

"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."

"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."

"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."

"Infrascale's pricing, to me, was outstanding and was one of the major factors in my decision to go with Infrascale... My customer had a different solution before and his monthly payment was three times as much as the payment he now has with Infrascale."

"They are incredibly fair and willing to work with their partners to make their pricing work for both partners and the end users."

"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."

"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."
