Performance of Quest Rapid Recovery Across Market Features

Quest Rapid Recovery Likes & Dislikes

Like

The frequency of snapshots could be reduced to 5 min. So RPO of 5 minutes is quite impressive. Live recovery feature is amazing. You can already start viewing recovered data while the rest of the the recovery is still in progress. There is a feature to enable automatic tests of the backups.

Like

Ease of installation Identifying backup failures

Like

Near continuous data protection, fast granular recovery, agent based and agentless protection

Dislike

Occasionally the image transfer takes a really long time. Not really sure if it is because of the software or some infrastructure issue. Happens not too often so we did not have a chance to analyse it thoroughly. Pricing is kind of steep.

Dislike

Time for backups user interface is not the best ease of different directory backup schedules

Dislike

Licensing and cost, complex setup and configuration, high resource usage.
