Room For Improvement

Infrascale needs UI updates, faster restores, enhanced security, improved tech support, better cloud integration, and simplified pricing.
NetApp SnapCenter needs interface improvements, better integration, enhanced performance, and user-friendly documentation to address management and compatibility issues.
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with multiple clouds.
President at a media company with 11-50 employees
I can suggest using the recovery time objective system, where current state systems can be restored in about zero downtime.
Cloud Operations Engineer at PowerSchool India Pvt.Ltd
Having more advanced dashboards and executive-level reporting would help with compliance tracking and management visibility.
Cloud Security Architect at a insurance company with 501-1,000 employees
It should be more user-friendly and easier for customers to use.
IT Technical Architect at AVALIS
 

Setup Cost

Infrascale offers competitive, flexible pricing for backup and recovery, valued for business continuity despite some complexity concerns.
NetApp SnapCenter often includes licensing with hardware purchases, offering cost-effective solutions with Standard and Advanced Capacity licenses.
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
President at IT1 Service
We recently renewed one of our agreements with them, and even though we were going to renew anyway, they added more margin in terms of a discount for us for renewing early.
Co-Founder | Director | CTO | vCISO | Lead Consultant Infrastructure & Cloud at UBIQUITY Ltd
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
President at a media company with 11-50 employees
The product should be free because it is just software to administrate systems purchased from NetApp, which are already expensive.
IT Technical Architect at AVALIS

Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.

What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.
President at IT1 Service
The product is very stable and easy to install, which saves a significant amount of time during deployment.

Cloud backups have strengthened ransomware recovery and now protect critical business data
I see several areas where Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery could be improved. First is the architectural design and configuration, along with operational maturity, as well as security integration. The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents. Getting quick support from the vendor during major recoveries or disasters would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, improving the strength of ransomware protections, addressing critical gaps in deployments, enforcing backup immutability policies, and making disaster recovery testing routine instead of an ad hoc process are important. Validating that I can quickly recover data should be a priority, and improved runbooks or operational maturity platforms would be beneficial for data recovery from critical incidents.

Has reduced backup time for large workloads and supports smooth workload migration
Role-based access control and multi-factor authentication are security features available in NetApp SnapCenter. The one-time password comes to our multi-factor authentication tool; we work with Cisco Duo, and that OTP is generated through that tool, which we use to access the device. There are different options through which we can migrate workloads without downtime. The user interface is very easy to handle and not complicated. There are multiple features that make NetApp SnapCenter valuable. In case of any job failure, we get an alert over email. For jobs replicating from site A to site B, we know how long it will take to complete that replication. All that information is available in the console, and there aren't any difficulties or objections that need to be improved.
