Carbonite acquired Double-Take, a data replication and disaster recovery option, in early 2017. The technology now powers Carbonite Availability, the now Carbonite supported high availability and data replication product.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/Qg/Sc/9PXH8CXT45HM.JPEGCarboniteTry a good solution from Carbonite DoubleTake2017-10-04T17:20:51.459ZWe are using DoubleTake Availability for Windows and Linux for our customers. We are a department for [creating] projects for customers and have a lot of projects with Carbonite DoubleTake. Most of our customers very satisfied with the product.
There are huge solutions we create for our customers to save the data when some disaster occurs so I think there is a lot business impact that we keep in mind every day and work to solve it.,Very professional support team, a lot of complex bugs and problems are solved very quickly by the support team.
Every time a new version is published there are new features.
Temporary licensing for a POC or for checking [out] some features is very good idea.,Videos and articles about Carbonite DoubleTake are hard to find.
There are very few articles and solutions [available] for Carbonite DoubleTake for Linux.,9,From data recovery perspective for customers- Carbonite DoubleTake is a good solution.
The honest price for Carbonite DoubleTake and for the ROI -it's a good transaction for the customer.,VMware Site Recovery Manager, Veeam Backup & ReplicationVerified UserWhy I can always count on DoubleTake2017-08-17T18:36:20.754ZWe use doubletake in several different ways. We have customers that use doubletake availability for their DR solution. For others, we use doubletake for migrating their environments from their local site to the cloud, or to different locations around the world. In some instances, customers have virtual servers that need to sit on physical hardware. Doubletake has the ability to migrate the virtual server back to physical hardware with virtually no down time.,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.,Reporting - Reporting is a very important tool which is required by auditors after performing failover tests. I know they are currently working on this, and we hope to see a working product that we can use shortly.
The inability of using the latest versions on the older OSs. When we migrate or protect 2003 servers, we have to stay with version 7. It would be nice to be able to use version 8 and well as it's new features.,10,Using Doubletake, we have been able to out quote our competitors.
Doubletake is easy to install and operate. An engineer would be able to download the product in the morning and have replication jobs running by that afternoon.,Zerto Virtual Replication and Veeam Backup & Replication,Veeam Backup & Replication, Zerto Virtual Replication,3John StalzerDoubleTake - Always Available2017-08-10T16:23:41.326ZIt varies per client. Some of our clients use it as a full DR solution for servers. While others use it as an offsite replication for critical servers.,Extremely quick failover to DR
Almost realtime replication depending on clients bandwidth
Easy to setup, upgrade and maintain
Cost effective,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,9,Clients are happy that the solution provides a quick and easy data recovery solution,EMC RecoverPointAdhir KamalGood to Go!2017-08-08T20:59:56.368ZWe are using DoubleTake (DT) as a disaster recovery option for replication to a series of virtual servers. Our IT department initiated the use for our entire company. It addresses the issue of access to our files and process in the event we lose access to any or all servers due to an unforeseen catastrophic event.,Allows for easy review and updating during replication processes. The Portal is user-friendly and very accessible with little user training.
Allows us to know when we have errors in replication and actions needed.
Their support is very quick and reliable in the event we have questions or issue.,The initial set-up can be challenging in some regard.
Would like to see version updates that support all OS. Unfortunately we use several OS and are on an older version with 7 of our 8 servers.
Will be doing the upgrades to version 8 shortly and hope the software is compatible with all OS.,8,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.,Ron Sisler JrDoubleTake = LifeSaver!2017-07-21T18:30:32.782ZWe used doubletake to recover from a serious server crash (converting a working server into a virtual machine and applying it on a different server). It was certainly a life-saver and time-saver, and their support was right by our side from start to finish. Hands down, great product!,Server environment to virtual machine
Great tech support
Pricing to fit the needs of the end-user,10,The time alone saved is worth the product.,Daniel HendryCarbonite DoubleTake Review2017-08-10T19:24:37.791ZCarbonite DoubleTake has been used since years ago across the whole organization for customers’ on-premise servers migration to a virtual private cloud. It provides minimum downtime migration (only required for servers cut over) since it replicates customer data in real-time to the cloud, the agent installation doesn't require servers to reboot and can be done during working hours. Once the synchronization job is created, all changes on source server are replicated to target server. The product support when required (not often) is very responsive.,It provides minimum downtime migration (only required for servers cutover)
It replicates customer data in realtime to the cloud, the agents installation doesn´t require servers reboot
Great product support,Mostly available for Windows (although a Linux version has been launched recently)
Complex Licensing process
60 days of license expiration for migrations (we know, customer sometimes takes longer to schedule the migration window,9,ROI is positive since migration teams can work mostly during working week, not needing to spend whole weekends with system shutdowns, image copies etc...,Agents installation (no downtime required)

It addresses the movement of large volumes of data transparently and without impact to the business and allows a seamless switch over from one site to another (ninety miles apart).,System Synchronisation,License management is poor and the online system is very restrictive, We are using a one time "Move" product that has a fixed life ... but sometimes in a small team other high priority tasks come along.
We lost all access to all licenses in the portal and all support because we hadn't used them in ninety days. Very poor service. We did get access back eventually but it took a lot of "bargaining".
Failover isn't always as smooth as it could be. VMDKs don't release properly and the move fails and has to be done manually. Not hard just frustrating. VMWare to VMWare.,5,Moves have been completed without any loss of business and no downtime (previously incurred weekend outages).
Old equipment has been retired so the architecture is more secure and resilient.,VMware ESXi, CommVault,No,Product Features
Third-party Reviews,I'd look at other products despite the recommendation if I had the time, but I probably wouldn't change anything.,No,8,No,We paid to have an engineer online with us and talk us through the first full server failover. This went very smoothly and he spent the remainder of the time we had paid for assisting my colleague to get the setup working properly. This was not part of the engagement but as there was time available he wanted us to be happy and made sure everything was working.Verified UserDoubleTake -- Good product when low RPO is needed2017-08-09T19:50:41.856ZI work for the Australian distributor of DoubleTake.
