Very cost-effective and well organized with good compression

It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company. A managerial user who wants more information beyond the operational technician should be able to access it. It could include greater transparency regarding the volume of data trafficked on the network, as well as the expectation of deduplication. A more practical strategy could come with a backup policy model as a suggestion for both large and small companies. A simple suggestion is to visually implement the backup time as far as your physical media.

Backups and restores are easy and we can do on-site disaster recovery within minutes

The benefits of using Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery become evident very quickly. You have the solution on-prem and can restore files and servers on-prem as well. You can set up certain virtual machines on-prem if you need them. If a machine goes down or has an error, you can put the machines into the cloud, which is very important if there's a fire or a disaster, where you really have to get the business working again. It's very quick. I saw those benefits immediately; that was one of the reasons we moved certain customers over to the Infrascale solution. They had different solutions in place before and were not happy with the amount of time it took to restore data or perform disaster recovery. We tested it out and ran some server restores before signing the customer up for the solution. It is very important for my organization that Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is available via a single dashboard. I have multiple customers, so being able to see all of them in one single dashboard and drill deeper into the servers is very important for me. Infrascale's unified dashboard has helped me save time. Infrascale's ability to restore data is great, fast, and very efficient.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Bacula is pretty stable."

"The most valuable feature is the support for Linux servers."

"The solution has extensive documentation and a very active community."

"The most valuable feature is its ease of use; it works great and it provides you with several standard tools to restore your backup, even after a big failure."

"Technical support is excellent in my opinion."

"Bacula is very solid, very stable, and very scalable."

"It is easy to scale Bacula Enterprise even if your system is growing tremendously in data and servers."

"It can be used in virtually any environment we have onsite."

More Bacula Enterprise pros

"The best part is the possibility to spill over the lock-ups to the cloud and the spin-up part."

"The Infrascale Dashboard is very easy to understand, has a good overview, and gives me access to all my appliances without having to have a local VPN connection to the individual clients. It makes it very easy to find my way around."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."

"Given that we are in the hurricane belt, the spin-up of replicated servers in the cloud is among the most valuable features. If our site goes down we can just connect to the cloud appliance, spin up the servers, and we are good to go."

"The ease of use is valuable. It is user-friendly. Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution."

"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery, where we have the ability to boot up VMs quickly in a disaster."

"It works a treat and does the job perfectly."

"The overall ease of use and management of the solution using the Infrascale Dashboard is very good. We haven't had any issues. It is easy to learn. Most of our techs who deal with backups are usually up and running with the dashboard within a day or so. They don't have a lot of buried features where you have to dig through things to get to the resolution. It is pretty self-explanatory."

Cons

"We are looking for a unique interface that can rule both enterprise and open source editions. Such a thing does not yet exist."

"Bacula needs a graphical user interface because, for administrators, the command-line interface is okay, but for the average user it is not very easy."

"The initial setup could be a bit easier."

"A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed."

"We are looking for a unique interface that can rule both enterprise and open source editions. Such a thing does not yet exist."

"Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement."

"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company."

More Bacula Enterprise cons

"I think they could increase security. I would like to see more features for the section on the viruses and maybe another in reference to two-factor authentication."

"There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server."

"One of the significant drawbacks of it is due to the fact that we're using two devices to manage the same vCenter, or virtualization environment, and they don't talk to each other."

"Their margin from what they're wholesale and their MSRP is kind of tight for people who have to manage it."

"The only thing I would suggest, and I have talked to my manager about it already, is that they should have a direct backup-to-cloud solution. It should be something that does not require me to do an image backup, and then individual file and folder backups, to be able to restore individual files."

"Having options to replicate between their data centers, once the data is offsite, would be an improvement that they could make."

"They set me up as a vendor, not as a client. So sometimes I end up in the wrong portal and I'm doing vendor things instead of client things, and I didn't realize that right away."

"The only thing I would suggest, and I have talked to my manager about it already, is that they should have a direct backup-to-cloud solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an open-source solution."

"We have a perpetual license."

"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."

"Infrascale's pricing, to me, was outstanding and was one of the major factors in my decision to go with Infrascale... My customer had a different solution before and his monthly payment was three times as much as the payment he now has with Infrascale."

"Pricing of the product could be improved. It definitely makes it a harder sell. They will usually end up getting close to the price we need, but I have to go through everybody to get the price reduced. Their list pricing is significantly higher than that of other solutions."

"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."

"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."

"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."

"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."

"They are incredibly fair and willing to work with their partners to make their pricing work for both partners and the end users."
