User-friendly solution that can handle heavy traffic
Pros and Cons
  • "Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."
  • "HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."

What is our primary use case?

I mainly use HVR Software for replication and migration.

How has it helped my organization?

HVR Software is an asynchronous replication solution. Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic.

What is most valuable?

HVR Software's most valuable features are that it's simple to use and allows us to use the command line to quickly complete the entire universal replicative setup.

What needs improvement?

In the next release, I'd like to see an automated version of HVR with a script that can be run on a management server where we can provide all the information within the script, or the script can prompt the user to enter the storage area and volume details so that with just a few clicks, the solution will be deployed automatically in the background.

A good stable solution for data logs and refreshes

  • "The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The way we are using it, I think the solution's level of scalability is sufficient for us. We didn't really need anything bigger. For us, it's been fine so far. We have about 30-40 users. There's no need for us to increase usage at this point.

How are customer service and technical support?

We've never really used technical support, so I can't speak to the level of quality.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was complex. We had quite a few data sources, so the database replication was quite in-depth and we had quite a few environments that needed to be refreshed. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Right now, we have a corporate license. I'm not sure of the term of the license or the cost.

What other advice do I have?

We use the on-premises deployment model.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.
