A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system

The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

Cons

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."

"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."

"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."

"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."

"The solution can give a lot of false positives."

"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
