Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
A mature backup solution, with many features, and great support
Veritas NetBackup is the first line of defense when disaster strikes. Before performing disaster recovery, we must have a good backup of our image that is also protected from ransomware. This way, we have a golden image that is resilient to ransomware attacks. We saw the benefits of Veritas NetBackup within the first three months.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"What I like about ECR AWS is that it is a fully managed service, so I don't need to manage the underlying infrastructure or worry about scalability in AWS concerning building, maintenance, security, and high availability."
"Since it is a managed service, I reduce my time to manage infrastructure and applications."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a robust and reliable solution for disaster recovery needs."
"​The initial setup is really straightforward."
"The VM portal and the CloudCatalyst are two of the solution's most valuable features."
"Includes snapshots and multiple database agents."
"I have found the Media Server Deduplication tool, deployment policies, and agentless features to be the most valuable features."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"It was especially useful with the appliances we use on a daily basis."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"The solution offers the hardware and the software at the same time."
"The solution is easy to scale."
 

Cons

"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​"
"Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"In its current state, ECL integrates with CloudWatch for basic logging and monitoring, yet improvements could include more detailed logs for specific actions, like when I perform actions such as push or pull."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
"There have been issues with performance and some features."
"The HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
"There is room for improvement in the implementation of Power servers."
"It is a very expensive solution. They should have a different scheme for selling it. They should also make it easy for us to switch from Solaris to Linux. We are having some trouble in migrating our actual catalog from Solaris to Linux."
"The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"Price-wise, most of the backup products are similarly priced, and NetBackup is the same."
"In terms of cost, it's not very good."
"There is a license required for this solution and it is priced based upon the data used."
"If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing."
"We are happy with the pricing that we have, but it's expensive."
"It is slightly more expensive than Commvault, but it is pretty much the same. It is an enterprise solution, so it scales quite well. It has a lot of features. So, you pay for what you get. It is not cheap, but it is fit for the purpose."
"The licensing model for this solution is very powerful."
"Veritas NetBackup's price could be a problem for small businesses."
