    ClearDATA recognized their challenges and made efforts to resolve them. However, they learned DR was not their forte. Instead, they turned their focus towards cloud application and data hosting. Considering the relationships built, I would try their services again, especially with some of our applications needing to be moved into a legacy format.

    In terms of business challenges, it simplifies the job of my engineers and significantly increases the productivity of my teams when they collaborate with IBM teams all over the world. Now that we have completed a proof-of-concept using the services supplied by IBM, we expect it to assist us in managing them more efficiently; thus far, management has been straightforward.

    Cons
    ClearDATA
    • Support was a challenge. Often tickets would sit until escalated.
    • Clear expectations on both sides caused communication challenges.
    • Data stored in the cloud was over 7 days old, and if there was a need to restore the data, business continuity would be greatly affected.

    • Request proxying is done by way of DNS name resolution, which is inflexible.
    • Proxy services do not work on wildcard DNS entries.

    Zadara: This is our current provider. We have a SaaS (Storage as a Service) solution coupled with cloud disaster recovery. So far, this service has been exemplary.

    I have used Salesforce to explore it as an app but I have found them both able to solve my needs and requirements when it comes to security. While I choose IBM Cloud Internet Services for more accessibility, a better price was available with Saleforce. Although that is just my observation.

    Return on Investment
    ClearDATA
    • Hard to say as we never really tested the data recovery, even though it was part of the scope of the project.
    • Considering the challenges, I would say we paid for something we didn't receive. However, when escalated we got somewhere.
    • From a customer service standpoint, it was 50/50.
