Carbonite Availability vs. HVR (discontinued)

I believe it would work well with continuous replication in a DR scenario with no time limits and having the ability to fail back is a bonus, but in a one off move the decision to restrict the time it can sync for has proven to be an issue for us.

HVR is a real-time replication tool, if you want to centralize your database to cloud in order to provide the best services to your clients or end-users then HVR plays a vital role. multiple sources such as on-premises and cloud databases need to be combined or out together on cloud for creating a centralized warehouse then HVR is very much useful as a replication tool. HVR is a very robust tool.

• Allows us to know when we have errors in replication and actions needed.
• Their support is very quick and reliable in the event we have questions or issue.

• Data replication from source to target system
• Almost Realtime data refresh

• License management is poor and the online system is very restrictive, We are using a one time "Move" product that has a fixed life ... but sometimes in a small team other high priority tasks come along.
• We lost all access to all licenses in the portal and all support because we hadn't used them in ninety days. Very poor service. We did get access back eventually but it took a lot of "bargaining".
• Failover isn't always as smooth as it could be. VMDKs don't release properly and the move fails and has to be done manually. Not hard just frustrating. VMWare to VMWare.

• Connectivity with more source such as salesforce

Cabonite Availability is a very practical and useful tool that can help any business weather any type of IT disaster. The ease and quickness of restoring data helps us provide as seamless an experience as possible. Many times our customers will never know there was an outage. This brings confidence in our brand and improves our organization's standing and reputation.

Once through to support it is very good and they have assisted us through a number of issues. I don't always think that they provide a solution, more a workaround, but in a move situation where each copy is moving once, that isn't an issue. I'd be more concerned if we were using it to manage a DR scenario.

Zerto is a very nice tool when performing virtual to virtual replication. If you were to add a physical server in the mix, it would not be able to handle that server or the data on it. Veeam is a way is similar to Zerto where it only has the ability to handle virtual to virtual replication. The big difference is that it's not continuous replication. It uses a snapshot technology to grab the changes from the last snapshot and replicate that over.

HVR was cost-efficient to us compare to other tools also we had a demo with our data and found out that HVR's performance is much better when replicating data from SAP to Snowflake compare to any other tool. A huge volume of data can be handled very easily. Also, the connectivity with the number of sources to pull the data is very good and they are continuously adding more sources.
