Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As the name states, it is our backup and recovery software. We use it to make full backups of VM's in production so that we can do point in time recovery based on our RPO and can pull individual files from that backup should they be needed. This is currently in use in the Greer SC facility. This is a very easy software to use and implement. The support is far and away better than any other I've used in 30 years of IT support. It was only needed a few times but they resolved my issues without delay.

Pros and Cons

Simple installation.
Easy to use interface.
Great Support.

Only one and it is small- the agent updates aren't as seamless as you would expect. Small, but the only improvement I can think of.

Return on Investment

Bang for the buck.
Company with U.S. based support.

Likelihood to Recommend

Hyper-V, VMware any hypervisior or physical environment this will fit and do well in. They have physical devices that can remove the hypervisor out of and offload the processing capabilities as well as a offsite option. The company is located in SC and the support is very well spoken and capable of communication.
