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.

Adhir Kamal NGDC Engineer Chose OpenText Availability It's a cost effective solution for our smaller clients. However since doubletake is quite different from RecoverPoint. I can't do an apples to apples comparison. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OpenText Availability 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.

User Testimonials
	BigMind DR	OpenText Availability
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Allows for easy review and updating during replication processes. The Portal is user-friendly and very accessible with little user training. Allows us to know when we have errors in replication and actions needed. Their support is very quick and reliable in the event we have questions or issue. Incentivized Ron Sisler Jr IT Support Specialist Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	License management is poor and the online system is very restrictive, We are using a one time "Move" product that has a fixed life ... but sometimes in a small team other high priority tasks come along. We lost all access to all licenses in the portal and all support because we hadn't used them in ninety days. Very poor service. We did get access back eventually but it took a lot of "bargaining". Failover isn't always as smooth as it could be. VMDKs don't release properly and the move fails and has to be done manually. Not hard just frustrating. VMWare to VMWare.

Usability	No answers on this topic	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	No answers on this topic	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	No answers on this topic	Zerto is a very nice tool when performing virtual to virtual replication. If you were to add a physical server in the mix, it would not be able to handle that server or the data on it. Veeam is a way is similar to Zerto where it only has the ability to handle virtual to virtual replication. The big difference is that it's not continuous replication. It uses a snapshot technology to grab the changes from the last snapshot and replicate that over. Incentivized JS John Stalzer System Engineering Manager Read full review
