Carbonite Availability vs. Relokia

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.

The Relokia team ensured that every piece of data was transferred flawlessly. The migration process was smooth, efficient, and—most importantly—error-free. Their communication was clear throughout and it was really easy to get answers when needed. With Relokia, we were able to move forward with our new system without the usual headaches that come with complex data migrations. We highly recommend their services to any organization looking for a dependable and professional migration partner.

• 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.

• Communication
• Ease of use
• Transparency in pricing.

• 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.

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.

Their mapping UI is intuitive and powerful, selecting the fields you want to use is a breeze, and adding custom fields is awesome. If the field doesn't exist in the destination service, they create it with the same labels and options. I was really impressed.

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.
