Though this tool lacks the features to allow backups on the same server, it is very easy to use

During the current times, solutions must have a backup system from a main server, and an active directory service. Also, it is no longer important to have a backup for different environments, such as databases, application servers, and web servers. However, ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus must get a main server for itself.

Granular recovery, replication is good and offers good speed

It is for any kind of company that uses their own servers. From a global perspective, our clients are small-sized companies. All the SMEs, compared to the Slovakian market, are quite small. It's a small market with small companies. They just want to enhance security and follow regulations It's…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Along with its active directory infrastructure, this solution also possesses the ability to recover and exchange, making it a valuable backup tool."

"It is pretty simple to set up and use, the ease of use has reduced the administration time involved in our backup and recovery operations, and I can sleep easily at night knowing that I've got one of the best solutions in place for the school."

"Basically, half of my day is saved because of the email notification and alerts."

"The general backup for replication and virtual standby are the most valuable aspects. It does what it says it does. It's a decent tool for not a big budget."

"Probably the point-in-time recovery is most valuable. The other piece that is really nice is that you can mount a whole server at any point in time. So, you can mount the server with all the drives to a Z drive or something like that. It will just mount it all up, and your data is accessible right there on one drive, which is nice."

"The fact that it can take a snapshot of everything on a server and replicate it on another server in real-time is the most valuable feature."

"It has surpassed our expectations time and time again."

"The fact that it can take a snapshot of everything on a server and replicate it on another server in real-time is the most valuable feature."

"The solution is a great backup for the retail environment."

Cons

"The solution has few features as it does not focus on managing anything in the application."

"There could be better space management for incremental data. When you use incremental data, the space in the appliance keeps on going up."

"One area where Quest Rapid Recovery has room for improvement is in the handling of snapshots on Hyper-V."

"When you do a full backup, all of the memory resources on the server are used, which is something that should be improved."

"I think the self-paced learning and knowledge base can always be improved so that users can self-service without having to contact either a reseller or Quest."

"The archive feature is a little cryptic. I don't think that it is very understandable."

"Rapid Recovery can only backup the machine or disc, but it can't back up from folders, and files, and things like that."

"It's buggy. That's a big problem. We're arranging to get rid of it. We're going to switch to Veeam."

"I don't really think that there is a whole lot that needs to be changed. It would be nice if you could deploy the agent without having to reboot. When I upgraded my core to the latest version, I also wanted to update all of my servers, but I had to put that off because I can't just shoot it out there. I have to make sure it is at a time when I can do a reboot right away."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license cost for this solution is cheap."

"I believe the basic license comes with six terabytes, whereas a lot of the other ones are four terabytes. From the price point, it seemed a lot better than the comparative models, such as Datto, Barracuda, and some of the others. I believe Barracuda was about $15,000 for four terabytes, and Quest was around $12,000 for six terabytes. Pricing is based on the period. There is just the maintenance fee that you have to pay annually, or you can pay for a three-year or four-year contract. This includes Premier Support."

"Licensing fees are based on the amount of data that you want to store, which is related to how many customers you want to cover."

"It's very expensive which is why I want to drop it. They charge us per core and we have a six-core server. It's expensive to pay for maintenance charges. I want to switch to something cheaper."

"Its price is okay. It is reasonable in terms of the way it works."

"When I purchased the change to the license, it was $1,600. I think that was for changing the license. I don't believe that I had to purchase technical support in a while, so I must've bought maybe for five years, but I don't feel there was a huge cost involved in technical support. Its cost was definitely worth it because we've had a fantastic experience with them."

"I don't think the licensing for the product is very expensive."

"The pricing is on the higher end."

"I'm not aware of the exact cost of Quest Rapid Recovery because I'm from the technical team, but in general, the solution is quite competitive cost-wise."

Overview

The native Active Directory backup and recovery utility from Microsoft fails to deliver rapid restorations due to its clunky user interface and lack of control over attribute-level changes. This emphasizes the need for an AD backup and restoration tool that must be user friendly, and also be able to restore all AD objects, including users, computers, groups, containers, OUs, DNS data, and GPOs.

RecoveryManager Plus is one such web-based Active Directory backup and restoration software that is easy to use and also enables you to back up all your AD objects as well as recover deleted objects. Additionally, it offers you the flexibility to restore only specific type of objects or just specific attributes of desired objects.
