Additional Details

BigMind DR uses per-account pricing, not per-endpoint or per-device. The Plus plan covers 10 users and up to 20 devices for a one-time $59 lifetime payment. The Pro plan covers 15 users and up to 45 devices for $119 lifetime. Unlike competitors such as Acronis and Veeam which charge $50–$130 per workstation annually, BigMind DR offers a single lifetime price with no recurring fees and no cloud storage costs — the customer brings their own storage device.

User Testimonials
	BigMind DR	OpenText Availability
Likelihood to Recommend	Genie9 No answers on this topic	OpenText I believe it would work well with continuous replication in a DR scenario with no time limits and having the ability to fail back is a bonus, but in a one off move the decision to restrict the time it can sync for has proven to be an issue for us.

Pros	Genie9 No answers on this topic	OpenText A product is worthless in my opinion if you don't have a great support team to work with. I've had issues with replication jobs that were resolved quickly and easily by the support team. DR - Doubletake is the only tool that I'm aware of that can handle DR replication of both physical and virtual environments. There sre others, but they use a snapshot technology, where doubletake has continuous replication of data. Move - we have moved physical and virtual environments from around the world without ever having to leave the office. One of the companies we migrated started off with their equipment in Switzerland, and after the servers were in a fully protected state in the US, that failover to the new location took 45 min.

Cons	Genie9 No answers on this topic	OpenText The initial set-up can be challenging in some regard. Would like to see version updates that support all OS. Unfortunately we use several OS and are on an older version with 7 of our 8 servers. Will be doing the upgrades to version 8 shortly and hope the software is compatible with all OS.

Usability	Genie9 No answers on this topic	OpenText Cabonite Availability is a very practical and useful tool that can help any business weather any type of IT disaster. The ease and quickness of restoring data helps us provide as seamless an experience as possible. Many times our customers will never know there was an outage. This brings confidence in our brand and improves our organization's standing and reputation. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Genie9 No answers on this topic	OpenText Once through to support it is very good and they have assisted us through a number of issues. I don't always think that they provide a solution, more a workaround, but in a move situation where each copy is moving once, that isn't an issue. I'd be more concerned if we were using it to manage a DR scenario. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Genie9 No answers on this topic	OpenText It is better for critical apps than Veeam due to the lower RPO. Veeam is favoured by some customers due to it's attractive price point. Zerto is a very strong product and is innovating continuously. I don't see so much of this from DoubleTake.

Return on Investment	Genie9 No answers on this topic	OpenText From data recovery perspective for customers- Carbonite DoubleTake is a good solution. The honest price for Carbonite DoubleTake and for the ROI -it's a good transaction for the customer. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
