Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's support team is excellent."

"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."

"The product is successful with the SMB market."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."

"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."

"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."

"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."

"The initial setup is easy."

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."

"There is room for improvement in stability."

"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."

"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."

"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."

"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."

"The GUI could be slightly improved."

"The GUI has room for improvement."

"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."

"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."

"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."

"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."

"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."

"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."

"It's very economical and worth the cost."

"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
