Data Center Backup
Comparison of Data Center Backup features of Product A and Product B
If you are a small business with a few machines and your backups aren't of servers that are public facing. If you had to restore a server from backup, it would take a day at least. So, if the server being restored was public facing, that may impact customer relations.
If you often get lead lists for import, large databases, a lot of users manipulating data regularly, then this is very necessary. Otherwise, I wouldn't see a huge need. I will say that we have found more cost effective apps that have a little more what we need as far as customization and more features.
The cloud control is great!! I'm able to restore files and folders from basically any machine on the Internet. I can restore either the local machine I'm using at the time, or directly to the server from which it came.
The user interface. Very easy to use and understand. Loads of options and configurations you can optimize for your particular needs.
Instance replacement. We have had an issue with one unit due to some hardware failure. Barracuda was amazing on getting this replaced quickly and getting us back on track.
User friendly & easy to navigate. I don't have a lot of time to learn brand new processes, so the ease of dupecatcher saved me a lot of time that I would normally spend hours doing manual work, merging duplicates.
"Ignore" some apps don't allow you to ignore dupes, as some may know this is absolutely necessary sometimes.
Alerts that notify SF users when they are creating duplicates.
You can't define backup systems to just go to the cloud, it has to be stored locally as well, which eats up the local storage.
These appliances are high-priced for a small amount of storage and if you want to upgrade, you buy a new appliance. There's no replacing hard drives, you basically move up $5K for each 2Tb and replace the entire appliance each time. It's not a healthy model for growth.
Dashboards and interfaces within Barracuda Backup are very easy to navigate, with clear success/warnings shown. Setting up backup jobs is probably one of the most simplest tasks - compared to competitors we trialed. Trouble shooting backup issues is also simple due to clear errors (VSS errors shown in a understandable format for example)
They are always quick to get you routed to a tech support person and always get follow up after contacting them. Last experience was amazing, she adjusted my boxes and they perform even better. I cannot say enough about the support. We had some trouble with one of the windows servers leaving the volume shadow copy out there and would fail. They worked with us to adjust and get working. After that it has been months since I have had to do anything with the server to keep the backups running.
The time necessary to manage Barracuda Backups is leaps and bounds superior to Backup Exec. Backup Exec has tons of great features but required constant maintenance. In the end we just wanted the ability to easily schedule, set retention periods and the ability to backup and restore. Barracuda does this exceptionally well.
We had DupeCatcher first, but did demo a few other similar products and decided to go with a different product due to the fact that they had a lot more features, customization, and excellent customer service.
Any tool that can catch duplicates is something almost any CRM using company needs. So obviously this will always have a positive impact on a company.
I wouldn't say we had a negative impact but we were able to find tools that did what DupeCatcher does and them some with a higher price tag, but you get a lot more features, and in my opinion what you would want/need/expect out of a dupe catcher.
