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 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 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."
"Overall, I set it up, configured it, deployed it, and walked away from it; it just chugs away happily."
"For this particular client, the solution’s Critical Server Insurance feature that protects physical and virtual servers including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V, was a very big factor as well. They have a bunch of physical servers, as well as virtual. The mix is predominantly virtual. They also have some NAS boxes that we back up using Infrascale."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we received support from the manufacturer."
"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."
"If you want something that works and is reliable, here it is."
"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"NetApp SaaS Backup is a good solution and I recommend it."
"I would recommend it because it makes it simple to manage backups from Office 365."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."
"The most valuable features are the support for both NAS and NFS."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"Over the time that we have used it, NetApp SaaS was a good solution and it performed well."
 

Cons

"The customer was probably down for about three days; this was a very difficult situation for us to be in."
"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."
"Their margin from what they're wholesale and their MSRP is kind of tight for people who have to manage it."
"In terms of overage, or outgrowing capacity with backups, I have an issue."
"The problem is that sometimes you can use a lot of the bandwidth to upload files."
"User interface and navigation are also not that good."
"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."
"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection. It is hard for them to deploy a lot of different hardware options. Depending on footprint size and overall capabilities, that is where there could be some flexibility in some cases. However, it is not a deal-breaker."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"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."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."
"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 fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
"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."
"It is super competitive. It is worth taking a look at it from a licensing and pricing perspective."
"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."
"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."
"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."
"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
"The pricing is more or less the same as what we'd get from Veeam on Office 365, so it's fine."
"The licensing was based on a three-year subscription and the price is good compared so some other vendors."
