We performed a comparison between Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery and N2WS Backup & Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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 initial setup was straightforward and we received support from the manufacturer."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery, where we have the ability to boot up VMs quickly in a disaster."
"The Infrascale Dashboard is very easy to understand, has a good overview, and gives me access to all my appliances without having to have a local VPN connection to the individual clients. It makes it very easy to find my way around."
"The overall ease of use and management of the solution using the Infrascale Dashboard is very good. We haven't had any issues. It is easy to learn. Most of our techs who deal with backups are usually up and running with the dashboard within a day or so. They don't have a lot of buried features where you have to dig through things to get to the resolution. It is pretty self-explanatory."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"I would like to see more features for the section on the viruses and maybe another in reference to two-factor authentication."
"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."
"Having options to replicate between their data centers, once the data is offsite, would be an improvement that they could make."
"They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement."
"I would like to be able to limit the bandwidth in cases, for example, where we are uploading the backup."
"They set me up as a vendor, not as a client. So sometimes I end up in the wrong portal and I'm doing vendor things instead of client things, and I didn't realize that right away. Once I figured it out I just changed my favorites on my desktop to go to the client-side."
"One of the significant drawbacks of it is due to the fact that we're using two devices to manage the same vCenter, or virtualization environment, and they don't talk to each other. That means I can't easily see what VMs are already being protected. If I'm on Infrascale device "A" and I have protected these VMs, when I go over to device "B," I can't see that those VMs are already covered."
"There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
