It is used as the single platform to back-up various systems distributed within the organization.

  • It supports various operating systems.
  • De-duplication is built in.
  • It can be controlled from anywhere, by anybody with the correct access.
  • The front end and the operations are designed in a uniform manner. This makes is easier to learn, and the operations to perform certain tasks are familiar.
  • The reporting and feedback tools are excellent.

Pros

  • The virtual environment is protected. New machines can be included automatically.
  • Network bandwidth is used efficiently.
  • Failed backups are highlighted quickly so the underlying cause can be addressed.

Cons

  • Manually aging jobs to expire the data could be easier.
  • Jobs that run through a firewall can be tricky to get running.
  • Replaced multiple backup products
  • Single pane of glass user interface
It was cheaper and more flexible in regards to the features available to us.
We used a platinum partner. To begin with, they were good, but after pulling out of support we struggled to find alternative partner support.

We have distributed sites over poor networks, but the client side de-duplication makes a real difference. The single pane of GUI makes familiarization easier, especially for customer service staff. Pre- and post-execution scripts are great. Good support for Microsoft products including clusters and Active Directory. Hyper-V and VMware are all supported with new machines automatically added.
