Featured Reviews

Alexander Zhuravel - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.
Sherwin De Claro - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution provides endpoint detection and response with a nice-looking dashboard
The solution is easily scalable because it's in the cloud and we can push the agents using our Cafea solution. We can even deploy the applications to our remote branches easily. We currently have four people using the solution and if the number of computers increases we can scale up by increasing the number of licenses.
