User Testimonials
	GoodSync	Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM)
Likelihood to Recommend	Siber Systems, Inc. It is mainly because of its features and reliability. Even when dealing with large drives, after the analysis step, it can identify the changes that occurred between the backup or synchronization drive and the master drive and presents to the use the choices of what should be done about the changes. The user can accept the changes or tweak which the backup or synchronization will do. The SW will remember those decisions for future activities on the same drives. Incentivized JC Joe Cuschieri President Read full review	Microsoft Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager is well suited for Windows domain environments where you need to make backups of Hyper-V virtual machines or bare metal servers. It is possible to backup SQL databases, works pretty well, but sometimes needs consistency checks on backups to properly continue to backup databases. Easy to restore anything to production or to another location. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Siber Systems, Inc. Quickly analyzes the drives and compares files and dates to give a complete picture Gives you complete control over what to do with files that are similar but my not be matching. (same name, different size or date) Incentivized Troy Alcorn Owner /Operator Read full review	Microsoft Hyper-V backup /restore Bare-Metal backup/restore Good management console Incentivized AS Alan Sidles President Read full review
Cons	Siber Systems, Inc. Can't sync to Sharepoint 2016 at this time. Which is a problem since we are on 2016 already. Incentivized JR Jackie Ramos Associate Director of Telecom & PC Support Read full review	Microsoft Integration with some devices Web client Slow interface Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Siber Systems, Inc. For reliability, GoodSync is beyond comparison. Some of the other tools I tried either fail through the backup/synchronization process, leaving one with unknown status of what has been backed up and what has not, wasting an inordinate amount of time because one has to repeat the whole process. Goodsync, even if it stops because of power glitches can easily pick up where it left after performing the analysis Incentivized JC Joe Cuschieri President Read full review	Microsoft Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Siber Systems, Inc. This has saved many hours of work because occasionally the flash drives die, break, fail or get left behind somewhere. The time to get all the files and software back in working order would take a day or two. By keeping several of them identical with GoodSync, work goes on without missing a beat.
