EaseUS Todo Backup vs. PATCH MANAGER

EaseUs Todo Backup is well suited for the Branch Office and small to the medium business network. The software is powerful enough to meet most of the demands of these less complex environments. However, it may not provide the bells and whistles of enterprise software designed for highly virtualized environments.

• It's easy to use for beginners. I found the UI to be straightforward and logical.
• The software also runs in the Windows Pre-install Environment (Windows PE) if the machine crashes. Of course, you need to have backed up the drive first!
• Backups from the whole OS down to single files is available.
• Backup to CD/DVD, SSD and HDD are all supported.

• Patching cluster of servers.
• Sorting what is already installed vs. what is needed.
• Easy OU management.

• It needs a better way to monitor success/failure of the scheduled backups. Maybe notifications?

• The actual patching process.
• The GUI can be a little clunky.
• When selecting a server or cluster you select the patches you want to install. After highlighting you have to left click the server or cluster in question to make sure there is a transparent yellow dotted line surrounding it (which can be difficult to see).

EaseUS Todo Backup is a superb software that does what it claims without the user needing a degree in computer science. Its plain user interface belies a lot of functionality that logically "guides" the user to making local and remote (cloud) backups of their important data. Additionally, the secure encryption of backups is just one less thing to worry about.

EaseUs Todo Backup is well suited for the small business environment and provides a good bang for the buck and value for features. It is not as costly as the other enterprise-grade solutions and therefore fits well into the budget of small businesses. It is not as advanced as the enterprise solution, but it provides the right mix of features and functionality to meet the needs of the average small business network.

• It has a large impact on keeping the business going if there is a hardware failure.

• It is a good tool. It allows us to schedule out our patches and verify any issues we may have had.
• It gets the job done but there are several improvements that be made to the interface.
