Simplifies our backups with an agentless backup manager, but needs better integration with in-house applications
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space.""It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."

More IDERA SQL Safe Backup Pros →

"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered.""NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology.""Scalability is very good."

Cons
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client.""The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection.""Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."

More IDERA SQL Safe Backup Cons →

"Integration and reporting could be improved.""NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use.""One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product's pricing is a good value. They have a straightforward licensing model."

    • More IDERA SQL Safe Backup Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our usage depends on the number of licenses we have. On the cloud, it's a pay-to-use kind of model which suits our needs well. Once we have the Cloud Manager installed, the licensing process is okay, regardless of whether we're running backups in the cloud or on-premises. Sometimes, we have to restrict the number of users as per the contractual agreement and in this case we simply cut down on the licensing."
  • "Cost could be lower."
  • "NetApp Cloud Backup has a subscription-based model and it is paid annually."
