Chose Carbonite Availability

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 …

Chose Carbonite 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.
Chose Carbonite 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.
Chose Carbonite Availability
I was not involved in the initial review of DT so I have nothing to compare too.
Chose Carbonite Availability
I'm not sure anyone else out there can provide what Doubletake has. [It's] Unique software that did exactly what we needed it to do.
Chose Carbonite Availability
DoubleTake was recommended by our VisionSolutions partner, because we already using MIMIX.

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
Carbonite, an OpenText company
  • 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

  • More verbose error messages. So we can fix problems with more ease
  • More bandwidth settings for throttling.
  • Ability to restart services on servers from the double take console

Support Rating
Carbonite, an OpenText company
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.

  • It has allowed us through DR testing to meet contractual requirements of our major accounts..
  • It gives us peace of mind that in the event of a major issue we can perform our daily business with a relative success rate.
