User Testimonials
	Azure StorSimple	Carbonite Availability
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	Carbonite, an OpenText company 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	Microsoft Performance via the SSD drives. Writes back to our Private Cloud via Azure. Easy to Admin via Web client interface. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	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	Microsoft Additional fail-over functionality Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	Carbonite, an OpenText company 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 Incentivized Adhir Kamal NGDC Engineer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	Carbonite, an OpenText company No answers on this topic
Usability	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Carbonite, an OpenText company the product UI is user friendly and product is straightforward to use. Incentivized Artur Estanqueiro Cloud Solution Architect Read full review
Support Rating	Microsoft No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	Carbonite, an OpenText company 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft Great Folks on the MSFT Implementation team Great value on year 2 Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	Carbonite, an OpenText company 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. Incentivized Ron Sisler Jr IT Support Specialist Read full review
