To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.

We recently renewed one of our agreements with them, and even though we were going to renew anyway, they added more margin in terms of a discount for us for renewing early.

It has reduced our backup time, however backups do get skipped
I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client. They moved a lot of the features to their web-based version of it. Because of the large number of databases that we have along with our backup, their web product can't handle it. So, we can't use it. So, we are missing out on a lot of the new features. The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection. Unless you can remember day-to-day that you may have something deselected or selected, your view may be different than you expect, and there is no visual indication of it.

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.
