User Testimonials
	vSphere Data Protection Advanced (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	VMware vSphere Data Protection Advanced is well suited for a thin client environment, and/or an environment that runs multiple virtual servers. It is also well suited for an environment with disaster recover requirements that require backups of everything. vSphere is very expensive, so it would probably not be a very good choice for a startup that could use a cheaper alternative in the beginning, or a physical machine environment.

Pros	Maintains backups of all virtual systems for disaster recovery compliance. Supports plugins for backups of Microsoft systems. As with most VMware products vSphere is incredibly easy to use. Incentivized Michael Timms IT Specialist Read full review
Cons	Reports are too complex, could be made clearer. The interface could be simplified. Backups of physical servers take a very long time. Incentivized Michael Timms IT Specialist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	CloudBacko is the only similar product that I have used, and while it worked by backing up my virtual machines to Google Drive, VMware vSphere Data Protection Advanced not only backs up the virtual machines, buton databases, physical servers and more, and backs them up to a centralized location, and has 24/7 live support.

Return on Investment	Virtual machines and servers are backed up and secure DR compliance is met Multiple platforms backed up to a central location Incentivized Michael Timms IT Specialist Read full review
