Featured Reviews

Thomas Roes - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Switact
Ease of backup and restore improves data management with reliable support
The interface of BDRSuite Backup & Replication is pretty intuitive. Regarding their marketing strategy, I'm very bad at marketing. I always get a little edgy when people try to shove their product in my face. There are two sides to the story. If you don't know something exists, you might not even start to look for it unless you really know that you need it. If you are explicitly looking for a solution, then you'll find it. People that don't know that they should do backup don't have a place in IT. I rate BDRSuite Backup & Replication 8.5 out of 10.
Arno Wolthers - PeerSpot reviewer
System Administrator at DIANA FEA BV
Reliable multi-platform backups have protected diverse servers and virtual libraries
Quest NetVault can improve in the area of Office 365 backups. Two years ago, I purchased the Office 365 plug-in or leased it for a year, and I have never been able to have a solid backup of Office 365 using Quest NetVault. I have resorted to a different solution specifically for Office 365 backups. It is not that it never works, but it fails so many times that it is not production-ready. On a weekly basis, I encounter problems and have to restart jobs or figure out what is wrong and then run it again. It simply needs to run as all the other Quest NetVault jobs do. If tomorrow there was a brand new Quest NetVault and I had the option to add something to make my life easier, besides improving the Office 365 backup, I would like to see that Quest Co Store products should be a part of Quest NetVault. They work and interact, but I have the impression it should be one solution.
