    If a backup solution is needed without purchasing an appliance, the Intronis solution does a great job of backing up data and replicating to the cloud. The backup is restricted by total data, so any databases and other items are covered as long as it's under the total data cap.

    • In platform expertise and workflows, so we don't allows have to build everything from scratch.
    • Tight integration within ServiceNow (especially ITSM) but also brings information and data in from other sources, so I don't feel we are stuck in a proprietary hole.
    • Increased investment in AIOps and automation
    • Relatively fast time to value with out-of-the-box capabilities and automation.

    Cons
    Barracuda Networks Inc.
    • the expanding of the roles that are allowed, just 4 seems to be too limiting
    • integration of the campus should be self service not a email and wait for 24 hour turn around

    • With the introduction of AIOps, we hope triaging outage impact can become more proactive
    • The UI could be greatly enhanced and simplified for daily operations
    • ServiceNow API access licenses are usually very limited bottlenecking use cases to build dashboards out from it

    The platform was a requirement to get access to the products, but it seemed a bit rushed and some of the feature are not consistent, like the cloud to cloud you need to create an admin for the tech to implement vs the creds passed over from ECHOplatform.

    We wanted it integrated with ITSM and ITBM. Prioir to that we used JIRA for agile development and SysAid for ticketing. So we started with converting SysAid. We went live with Vanilla ITSM. Then we could have a basis for ITOM. However, we needed to migrated from JIRA to ITSM. Only then we felt mature enough to examine ITOM, which required quite a lot of resources. You need networking, motoring, IT and Cyber security team members in your project!!

    • This is a great solution for backups when a backup appliance is not necessary (or within economic range).
    • Local NAS replication can provide faster recovery of data in the event of a catastrophy.
