Overall Satisfaction with MyWorkDrive

The primary use case is the Disaster Recovery tool. Our multiple systems run on azure as we have .net workloads. automated disaster recovery is not much covered in services. We had to look outward to mitigate this issue. Integration with Azure was a breeze. in case of some disaster, MyWorkDrive handles the recovery automatically.
  • Azure to MyWorkDrive integration.
  • Log reviews helps in identify if some malfunction has occurred.
  • Convenient user access, especially useful for large organization.
  • Some native language SDK specially for php would be nice.
  • UI is stuttering, it can use more fresh or fast UI.
  • A bit hard to configure with Azure, some easy steps would be nice.
  • Azure integration
  • Browser based method of MyWorkDrive is very convenient.
  • Well suited candidate for Disaster recovery solutions
  • ROI is slow compared to market alternatives like S3.
  • UI has room for improvement.
  • Native language SDK would be nice, preferably PHP SDK.
As mentioned before, for a particular circumstance where we were using Azure cloud service, Azure does not have native good alternatives for Disaster recovery so we opted in for MyWorkDrive. In this particular scenario, MyWorkDrive worked best for our particular scenario. Its browser-based UI is added benefit. The learning curve is not much steep so can be easily adopted by juniors

Yes

In general, the market has many storage alternatives but when you're working with Azure cloud, MyWorkDrive especially shines brighter than the competition. It goes hand in hand with the native Azure technology and communicating changes between both platforms is a breeze. In case of disaster, the last saved copy automatically gets restored to the server that was mentioned in the configuration.
