Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Automated tiering and inline data deduplication."
"The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that."
"The HTML5 UI is clean, easy to navigate, and very intuitive."
"The machine installed without difficulty."
"It needs integration with cloud vendors for remote storage, and to be able to restore a single machine from a specific volume."
"I like the Reduxio TimeOS, specifically. That feature's pretty good. I haven't seen it in any other product. They're the only ones who have it."
"The Reduxio box has improved our resiliency and management overhead."
"It has improved our backup and recovery window, because you can have two Reduxio machines linked up, so every block that changes on the primary storage array gets replicated to the secondary storage array. If one side or the other goes bad, you just recover from the other side."
"While we haven't made major changes to our disaster recovery and business continuity processes yet, moving towards stretch vSAN across sites will simplify and expedite our DR processes in the future."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of its scalability: being able to grow it without having to make sure you get the right disks and the right nodes. The solution is also easy to manage. It's all right there in the vSphere Client. You're not going through multiple things. You don't have to know, once you've created the vSAN node. You add storage, it sees it, and you create your data storage from there. Everything is right there for you."
"The most valuable features are the encryption, deduplication, compression, and the ability to manage all of your storage within your server rack."
"Instead of going for SAN storage, customers can use the scale-up and scale-out features of VMware vSAN."
"VMware vSAN is easy to implement in a VMware environment and it is not expensive."
"vSAN is very integrated."
"The technical support is good."
"We've found the solution to be scalable."
"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"t would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."
"If the support could be provided more quickly, it would be very helpful."
"The product can be improved in a couple of ways. One of those would be that they have a lot of hidden features, that are through the CLI, that would be great to have in the GUI, or just be more open about those features. It's something called RVC. It's a tool in the back end. It's a really great tool, but I had to find it through Reddit. So more information on stuff like that would be great. Also, in the user interface, giving us more features and more reporting that we can do from vSphere itself would be helpful."
"We want see a better monitoring tool in vSAN. Monitoring is not that great as of now because it shows us false alarms in the Health status. We would like that to be improved."
"It would be ideal if clients didn't need to monitor the solution on a daily basis."
"The product's complex setup phase is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There's already a concern with VMware with ransomware and security issues. VMware could focus on improving security."
"It is a memory intensive app."
"As no product is 100% perfect, the price for VMware vSAN could still be improved, though it is good when compared to some of its competitors."
