Automated backups have increased user trust and ensured reliable multi-region disaster recovery
While I think the integration of Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is pretty seamless, the backup takes slightly more time to complete, which could also be because of the huge data in our databases. The networking flow can definitely improve, which could speed up the scale at which backups are performed. Increased availability into more regions would be beneficial. Currently, Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is limited to certain regions in the world, but there could be customers who would want to use it in Mumbai or other parts of the globe. That would increase their use case and help cater to more customers across the world.

Simplifies backup, restore, and clone management across disparate applications and infrastructures
It's a simple solution to use. It's simple to configure everything that you need — configure your backups. It gives you an option to backup to the cloud or backup to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage. For example, if a customer is running on Azure NetApp files or on something cloud-based that they want to back up, they have the option of bringing their own licensing and cloud controls and NetApp will give them the storage to back up for as long as they want. When deleting backups, the controls are very intuitive so not just anyone can delete the backups, only the administrator is able to do that. Backing up and restoring is simple. It's easy. It's one click of a button. It's quite good, I like it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface of Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is very easy to use, and there are no problems. It's set it and forget it. You can make adjustments very easily as well."
"From a backup and disaster recovery perspective, it has been a night and day difference."
"Overall, this product is really solid and they're a very good company to work with."
"Overall, I set it up, configured it, deployed it, and walked away from it; it just chugs away happily."
"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."
"If you want something that works and is reliable, here it is."
"The best part is the possibility to spill over the lock-ups to the cloud and the spin-up part."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable features are the support for both NAS and NFS."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."
"Over the time that we have used it, NetApp SaaS was a good solution and it performed well."
"NetApp SaaS Backup is a good solution and I recommend it."
"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."
"I would recommend it because it makes it simple to manage backups from Office 365."
"NetApp SaaS Backup is a good product that serves multiple purposes."
 

Cons

"Their margin from what they're wholesale and their MSRP is kind of tight for people who have to manage it."
"They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement."
"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."
"In terms of overage, or outgrowing capacity with backups, I have an issue."
"User interface and navigation are also not that good."
"Today, they are not as cost-efficient as many other places, but I'm comfortable, I trust the service."
"The pricing model that they recently changed to is a little bit complicated, and the biggest area for improvement is a better way of figuring out how to price it."
"I would like to see the graphical user interface improved to include all of the functionality because there are some things that you need to use the command-line interface for."
"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"There are several things that cannot be backed up as a full system, but rather only as a shared file. It isn't compatible with all applications and databases."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing structure was changed some time ago and it's a lot more efficient and the price points are a lot better. They're improving and heading in the right direction."
"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."
"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."
"They are incredibly fair and willing to work with their partners to make their pricing work for both partners and the end users."
"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."
"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."
"The pricing is more or less the same as what we'd get from Veeam on Office 365, so it's fine."
"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
"The licensing was based on a three-year subscription and the price is good compared so some other vendors."
