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.

HVR is a real-time replication tool, if you want to centralize your database to cloud in order to provide the best services to your clients or end-users then HVR plays a vital role. multiple sources such as on-premises and cloud databases need to be combined or out together on cloud for creating a centralized warehouse then HVR is very much useful as a replication tool. HVR is a very robust tool.

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.

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 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.

HVR was cost-efficient to us compare to other tools also we had a demo with our data and found out that HVR's performance is much better when replicating data from SAP to Snowflake compare to any other tool. A huge volume of data can be handled very easily. Also, the connectivity with the number of sources to pull the data is very good and they are continuously adding more sources.
