CloudEndure Disaster Recovery vs. Arcserve ShadowProtect

CloudEndure is perfect for businesses with a large amount of data that cannot afford a downtime.

In situations where business continuity needs are high, ShadowProtect backups provide the ability to keep operations running with very minimal downtime, even in situations like crypto-locked data. If a backup server is set up in an environment to resume a live server from backup, this is even more helpful. In situations where clients don't care as much about quickly recovering their data, they can go without a solution like this.

We don’t need support often, but when we do, the support has been strong. Sometimes it is hard to determine how to access support for the exact issue we are having. There are a decent forum and online ticketing system. Support for the cloud center seems to be provided only by phone, though.

We did not try Cloud Flare so I can't say. We followed the online reviews and decided to go with CloudEndure.

Speed, we rely on Shadowprotect to provide us with fast backups and also backups that are smaller in size compared to the other products.

Incentivized

• Saved us money loss during downtime

• We have been with Shadowprotect for 5 years and are now only moving off of them due to limited functionality and Shadowprotect doubling our billing.
• The product now requires a lot more babysitting so I have one person just stuck managing backups, which is not a fulfilling job and hard to keep someone in that seat.
• While Shadowprotect has been fantastic for years, it is time for us to move on to something that makes financial sense and requires less labour.
• Storagecraft Cloud is fairly expensive compared to competitors.
