It allows me to refresh those test/dev environment on a daily basis with built-in schedules.

What is most valuable?

Workflow
Mount (instance recovery)

How has it helped my organization?

Due to the mount and workflow I refresh several SQL and Oracle databases for the Test/Dev host without taking up any production storage space. It also allows me to refresh those test/dev environment on a daily basis with built-in schedules. This means that things that took me days to perform today, now take me 20 minutes.

What needs improvement?

There is a lot to improve on and a lot of new features that are needed. Some of these, I have personally requested, for example to be able to set multiple/specific hours/days on the workflow mechanism, and add the ability to support tapes/robot libraries.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Actifio for almost two years. I have two Actifio cluster which protects 60TB of data including six VMware machines, SQL database, Oracle database, Windows, and Linux.
