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.

Backup storage has shrunk dramatically with deduplication but still needs stronger security options

The air gap feature is something I'd really like to see in QoreStor. There's no native air gap capability right now, and for security-conscious environments, that's a gap. The configuration export is also limited in QoreStor. If you want to document your setup or migrate configuration to a new instance, it requires more manual work than it should.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Given that we are in the hurricane belt, the spin-up of replicated servers in the cloud is among the most valuable features, because if our site goes down we can just connect to the cloud appliance, spin up the servers, and we are good to go."

"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 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."

"Get Infrascale and talk to their team. They will support you, and they will make you the happiest customer out there."

"With this, the speed to recovery and the confidence during recovery is very good, and the recovery actually works."

"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this product is that we should have switched years before we did."

"There is a great return on investment with Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery, as I have saved a significant amount of time and money. I need fewer employees to support maintenance requirements, alerts monitoring, and recovery requests."

More Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery pros

"It integrates with various backup software solutions, which makes it compatible with existing backup workflows and processes."

"Since we started to resell QoreStor, we have been using it internally; it's better than other backup solutions we have used or evaluated."

"We need revisions and safe backup so that it could be held up in court, but deduplication and compression are the main features why we have Quest QoreStor. That's where it really shines. I use ZFS and XFS at home, and Quest QoreStor is even better."

"QoreStor has helped to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premise by at least 90%."

"The extreme compression of data is a big thing for us. We were looking for an online backup solution, and QoreStor is very good in terms of data compression. It helps us minimize the required storage in the Blob Storage environment."

"If storage costs are a problem, whether on-premises or cloud, QoreStor is worth a serious look."

"Quest QoreStor is very stable compared to our previous solution."

"Deduplication is the most valuable feature. It saves us a lot of space. When we back up 100 terabytes of data, after dedupe, it only uses maybe five to six terabytes for the disk space in QoreStor."

More QoreStor pros

Cons

"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."

"The customer support is good, but I think it should be improved."

"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 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 problem is that sometimes you can use a lot of the bandwidth to upload files."

"The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents."

"The customer was probably down for about three days; this was a very difficult situation for us to be in."

"In terms of what I would like to see, it would be to make the solution available across multiple clouds."

More Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery cons

"In terms of improvement, we would like to have an Air Gap feature to prevent a virus from attaching to something. So that when we don't do a backup, we want the QoreStor to stay offline. It would be a nice feature to have."

"They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved."

"They need to increase their maximum capacity. Other than that, they're doing a pretty good job."

"The installation could use improvement. The initial installation was a little touchy and it's not really user-installable. You have to have a connection to support to install."

"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."

"The ransomware protection of QoreStor could use improvement."

"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."

"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial."

More QoreStor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."

"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."

"They are incredibly fair and willing to work with their partners to make their pricing work for both partners and the end users."

"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 licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."

"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."

"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."

More Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery pricing and cost advice

"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."

"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."

"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."

"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
