Cloud backups have strengthened ransomware recovery and now protect critical business data

I see several areas where Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery could be improved. First is the architectural design and configuration, along with operational maturity, as well as security integration. The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents. Getting quick support from the vendor during major recoveries or disasters would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, improving the strength of ransomware protections, addressing critical gaps in deployments, enforcing backup immutability policies, and making disaster recovery testing routine instead of an ad hoc process are important. Validating that I can quickly recover data should be a priority, and improved runbooks or operational maturity platforms would be beneficial for data recovery from critical incidents.

Cost-efficient, highly scalable, and installable on different types of hardware

They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved. We are pretty lenient as we do a lot of IT support ourselves. We are not very hard on support organizations, but when a customer has a support issue, it would be easier if the support processes were a little bit more automated. It would be beneficial to have an easier way to upload diagnostic dump files. They can make it easy for the customer to collect the diagnostic data. There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field. This is especially critical because it stores customers' backups, and a failure can have significant business impacts. If a customer does not have the backups and has a disaster, they can be out of business, so monitoring is key.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is a great return on investment with Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery, as I have saved a significant amount of time and money. I need fewer employees to support maintenance requirements, alerts monitoring, and recovery requests."

"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 biggest lesson that I have learned from using this product is that we should have switched years before we did."

"What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean. It does not require six people to get involved in order to do a restore or perform a backup."

"Get Infrascale and talk to their team. They will support you, and they will make you the happiest customer out there."

"From a backup and disaster recovery perspective, it has been a night and day difference."

"Overall, I set it up, configured it, deployed it, and walked away from it; it just chugs away happily."

"The recovery of data is the most valuable feature. The software backup, which is just a program that gets installed on a server, can back up to the cloud. You can install that on a server or PC, and that will simply back up a user's files and folders. If it is installed on the server, we just back up the relevant data. Recovering that, if there has been a malicious attack on a business or anything like that, has been invaluable in the past. The good features about that are obviously, if the physical hardware has a problem, then we can utilize the appliance, turn on the virtual machine, and carry on running the business while we put the hardware back and correct the issue."

More Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery pros

"Not having to be onsite to swap tapes on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, alone, has really paid for its usage through the savings in time."

"Since we started to resell QoreStor, we have been using it internally; it's better than other backup solutions we have used or evaluated."

"Deduplication is the most valuable feature. It saves us a lot of space. When we back up 100 terabytes of data, after dedupe, it only uses maybe five to six terabytes for the disk space in QoreStor."

"QoreStor has helped us to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premises. We've been using the same devices for quite a while, and so it lets us keep using them as opposed to having to rip out all that hardware and create a new on-prem solution. The advantage here is even if we had to retire the hardware tomorrow, the QoreStor part doesn't change. We just have to have additional hardware and put the solution back on whatever hardware we pick and it'll do the same thing."

"Quest QoreStor definitely saved us money."

"I would rate QoreStor a ten out of ten for what it offers for the price."

"QoreStor has helped to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premise by at least 90%."

"The dedupe and compression are pretty extreme. On disk, we're getting dedupe rates of up to 65 percent of data and compression of 34 percent. When you go to the cloud, it's more like 76 percent for dedupe and almost 50 percent for compression."

More QoreStor pros

Cons

"The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents."

"I would like to be able to limit the bandwidth in cases, for example, where we are uploading the backup."

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

"The pricing model that they recently changed to is a little bit complicated, and the biggest area for improvement is a better way of figuring out how to price it."

"In terms of overage, or outgrowing capacity with backups, I have an issue."

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

"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection. It is hard for them to deploy a lot of different hardware options. Depending on footprint size and overall capabilities, that is where there could be some flexibility in some cases. However, it is not a deal-breaker."

"They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement."

More Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery cons

"They need to increase their maximum capacity. Other than that, they're doing a pretty good job."

"There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field."

"They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved."

"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing. I worked a lot with Quest engineers, especially in the early days when we were first testing it and trying it out. I actually had some of the developers working with us at one point because they were going through these point releases, and I was having trouble getting it to work in this S3-compatible situation. We got it all working eventually, but setup is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."

"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."

"The ransomware protection of QoreStor could use improvement."

"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."

"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial. After everything is set up and configured, there should be a way to export the configuration. In case something happens to the QoreStor server, and we need to reinstall and configure everything, being able to import the configuration would be helpful. This feature does not currently exist."

More QoreStor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."

"It is super competitive. It is worth taking a look at it from a licensing and pricing perspective."

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

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

"The licensing structure was changed some time ago and it's a lot more efficient and the price points are a lot better. They're improving and heading in the right direction."

"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."

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

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

More Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery pricing and cost advice

"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."

"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."

"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."

"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
