Its user-friendliness and consolidated dashboard make backups and recovery very easy
Having a single dashboard makes management and monitoring easier because you do not have to log into multiple services and multiple dashboards in order to gather the same information. It is always nice to have a consolidated view of your data and how you are performing your day-to-day operations with backup and recovery if you need to recover any file. It is very easy to restore data. The user interface or the dashboard is very intuitive. It is very easy to use, making it easy to recover or replicate any files. It is extremely important for us that Infrascale has the ability to recover data from any point in time. Data is the jewel crown of any business. If you do not have the right data, you are going to face many challenges in running your business. It is important to recover and restore the right data at the right time so that it does not impact your business and your bottom line.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 initial setup was straightforward and we received support from the manufacturer."
"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."
"What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean. It does not require six people to get involved in order to do a restore or perform a backup."
"The overall ease of use and ease of management of the solution using the Infrascale dashboard is excellent. I'd rate it 10 out of 10 because the dashboard is very simple to use. For someone with a technical background, it's a wonderful piece of software to be using in a cloud environment. But if you're not technical, then it might be a problem. It could be confusing for non-technical people. If you don't know what you're doing, you could kind of screw it up. Any human with two brain cells can do it. It's like anything else. So, once you train a human, they're good. Anybody can do it. Anybody with a competent brain can use it and go with a little bit of technical skill. It might be confusing in the beginning, but once you're trained up and you've used it a little bit, like anything else in your life, it'll be easy. They'll come as normal."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."
"The program excels at recovering files and folders, both locally and in the cloud, and their team is extremely responsive, which is crucial for service delivery."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"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."
"I'm a little bit disappointed that over the last year and a half, there hasn't been too much contact from them regarding what's going to be new or coming out."
"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 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."
"I would like to be able to limit the bandwidth in cases, for example, where we are uploading the backup."
"They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement."
"The only point of improvement I can think of for Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is that the restore process could sometimes be easier to do and faster. A file-only restore or directory-only restore can sometimes take quite some time; however, a server restore goes fast."
"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."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."
"Pricing of the product could be improved. It definitely makes it a harder sell. They will usually end up getting close to the price we need, but I have to go through everybody to get the price reduced. Their list pricing is significantly higher than that of other solutions."
"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
"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."
"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."
"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."
