Chose Axcient x360Cloud
The performance and GUI for the previous products were inferior to Axcient's x360Cloud. The price was comparable but we were spending too much time trying to maintain and improve the product which was costing us time in productivity. The feature set was also not as good as what …
As an MSP, we have been able to provide protection for cloud documents to our customer. With Axcient x360Recover, we can feel confident that we are providing a service that is commonplace today but reliable with Axcient. This protection comes at a reasonable price that makes …
My absolute favorite thing about the Axcient x360Cloud line up was the options and the bring your own device on some of the non cloud options and they have a strong presence among some of the other competitors. However the cloud agent needs a little more fleshing out in order …
If SRM worked as advertised, it would be comparable, however, Veeam also provides you with the ability to create real time labs with your machines, and they can be accessed via a proxy. This allows you to failover some machines and test them from outside the DR bubble.
Entertained Veeam, however with SRM's tight integration and "brand" it was an easy decision. The cost for a 25 server license also weighed in the decision for using a VMware product. Plus I am a VMware fan and feel this option to go with SRM will transcend jobs.
We've had the best experiences when needing to recover emails from snapshots and date ranges which have been deleted. The Smart Search works relatively well and is easy to recover. Sometimes the restoration process can take a while depending on the size and amount of emails but is generally ok.
SRM is a must-have tool if your business requires you to failover your VMs to a disaster recovery site and provide valid testing and real-time numbers. Our VP office is always amazed at how easily we are able to satisfy our annual testing and show actual results with time stamps and the sequence of each VM that is up and running. SRM may not be needed in a very small business that does not have the capacity nor the need to have their infrastructure off site in a form of a disaster recovery site.
This is because the product does what it advertises but does not go above and beyond. It is perfectly usable for what it does but it is still a little confusing and awkward to use.
Sometimes we have to struggle explaining the problem and getting it resolved on priority. The overall quality of support team is not as good as it used to be in past.
The biggest positive is that we have a data recovery solution that we can test and verify in a live condition. Prior to this we were only hoping we could recover from a disaster.
We've been only running for 4 months and haven't had to use SRM.
