Ability to run multiple jobs to multiple locations simultaneously and offers quick recovery times
It was a very good product. It is real-time synchronization. It is a really beautiful product line. Once it is synchronized, it is a bit-level synchronization across the VPN. And the one beauty I really liked about the product line is you can run multiple jobs to multiple locations simultaneously. Usually, whether it’s electronic or any other solution, you finish one job, and then it goes for the second replication job, not simultaneously. In Carbonite Availability, you can have one DR service standby server in the head office, another one across the VPN at another DR site, and another one at a third site, like in the cloud. And all these three jobs will be going simultaneously once the initial synchronization is completed. Like, if you delete here, it just deletes everywhere. That means it’s a bit-level synchronization. That beauty, I cannot find in any other product line. It is real-time synchronization. It is high availability. That means if you delete something here, it deletes everywhere. That is the difference.

A stable and scalable solution with customization features
Introducing something new can be expensive, and they'll likely continue using the existing tool. There's no need to spend money implementing a new solution, even if it could improve things. I see more challenges on the client side than with Skyvia itself. The client is a large company and wanted a lot of customization, which naturally requires time. It's not that Skyvia is limiting me; it allows me to make the necessary changes. The issue is that the client’s requirements keep changing—one day, they want something done one way, and the next day, they want it differently. Three people are doing the maintenance. Overall, I rate the solution as nine out of ten.
