We use it to back up our VMware environments. We do daily backups of virtual servers and databases.
Works
The daily backup report is one of the most valuable features
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
It has reduced recovery time. From recovering VMs to just simple file-level recovery. It's all fast and easy.
What is most valuable?
The daily backup reportĀ is one of the most valuable features. There is a clear report sent and emailed to me every morning that shows if all backups were successful.
What needs improvement?
The only area that I would say needs some improvements is the initial setup. A little more assistance and help during implementation would be great.
