Bratislav Petkovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Optimizing data replication and management with unique resource handling features
The features of Hitachi Universal Replicator that I use include data flow, monitor, and Data Mobility Services. We have Data Mobility Services resource pool and resource group mirror unique allocated. Features like source journal, destination image, remote path, volume name, and capacity saving mode are valuable. De-duplication, compression, and capacity saving processing mode are essential. Other useful aspects are storage target, default data reduction, shared volume, and automatic journal creation. These features work synchronously for tasks like remote cloning or universal replication.
Jeff Manuszak - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-efficient, highly scalable, and installable on different types of hardware
They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved. We are pretty lenient as we do a lot of IT support ourselves. We are not very hard on support organizations, but when a customer has a support issue, it would be easier if the support processes were a little bit more automated. It would be beneficial to have an easier way to upload diagnostic dump files. They can make it easy for the customer to collect the diagnostic data. There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field. This is especially critical because it stores customers' backups, and a failure can have significant business impacts. If a customer does not have the backups and has a disaster, they can be out of business, so monitoring is key.

One of our favorite features of Quest QoreStore for data protection isn't the backup, actually, though we're using it actively (maybe just as much as data replication, to be honest). We absolutely ...
