Room For Improvement

<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery needs better security, data diversity, UI, tech support, analytics, cloud integration, and training materials.</p>
VMware Live Recovery needs better storage integration, automation, support, interface, documentation, pricing, cloud compatibility, and enhanced AI capabilities.
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
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
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.
President at IT1 Service
It's important for the cost to be justified based on the features used in production.
Solution Architect at Lenovo
I would like to see improved integration services with other solutions, such as SIEM management or security monitoring.
IT Infrastructure Manager at TMLI
They follow their SOP, but they initially engage very low-level personnel who are not able to answer or resolve the issue, so they escalate or take a very long time to resolve the issue.
Integration Architect at App In Snap (Pvt) Ltd
 

Setup Cost

Infrascale Backup offers flexible, premium pricing with strong support, ideal for enterprises and MSPs despite some clarity concerns.
VMware Live Recovery costs depend on VM count and protection plan, with pricing complexity increasing after the Broadcom acquisition.
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
Having a more transparent pricing option would help with planning and budgeting.
Manager Technical Operations at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
Previously, when acquiring a license for Ethiopian drug supply chains, the price was significantly high, especially after Broadcom joined VMware.
Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Safaricom Ethiopia plc
For cloud-based solutions, the cost seems quite pricey, so we stick to on-premises deployment.
IT Infrastructure Manager at TMLI
We mostly prefer to recommend this to customers due to ease of use, abundant features, and support.
Integration Architect at App In Snap (Pvt) Ltd
 

Valuable Features

<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery provides fast, flexible, and secure data protection, offering ease of use and comprehensive recovery features.</p>
The solution provides automated disaster recovery, VMware integration, and seamless management for robust business continuity and operational efficiency.
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.
President at a media company with 11-50 employees
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.
President at IT1 Service
It is used for data replication between data centers and allows for quick response in times of failure, ensuring data availability.
Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Safaricom Ethiopia plc
If I talk about vCenter and the auto failover of the VMs, such as live migration, that is a very cool feature that we require in our environment because we have different data centers, and if some of the servers fail, they automatically failover and move the VM from one side to another.
Integration Architect at App In Snap (Pvt) Ltd
The capability and the functionality of the features are very helpful for us.
IT Infrastructure Manager at TMLI

Featured Reviews

Security Engineer at LTI Mindtree
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.

Integration Architect at App In Snap (Pvt) Ltd
Has enabled seamless VM management and automated failover while support response needs improvement
For support issues, they help with the issue, but it takes a very long time. The reason is that they engage a very initial resource and then escalate to another level, and during these level escalations, our time is wasted. They do not understand the severity of the issue. They go through step-by-step and then go to the upper level. This may be their SOP, but we require instant support and instant resolution of the problem, so here VMware Live Recovery is lacking. They follow their SOP, but they initially engage very low-level personnel who are not able to answer or resolve the issue, so they escalate or take a very long time to resolve the issue. The main issue is to improve the approach of resolving solutions. I may not be able to suggest new features because in these recent months, I have not been very close to it as we are exploring different solutions.

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
