Security Engineer at LTI Mindtree
Cloud backups have strengthened ransomware recovery and now protect critical business data
I see several areas where Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery could be improved. First is the architectural design and configuration, along with operational maturity, as well as security integration. The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents. Getting quick support from the vendor during major recoveries or disasters would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, improving the strength of ransomware protections, addressing critical gaps in deployments, enforcing backup immutability policies, and making disaster recovery testing routine instead of an ad hoc process are important. Validating that I can quickly recover data should be a priority, and improved runbooks or operational maturity platforms would be beneficial for data recovery from critical incidents.

Has enabled seamless disaster recovery with virtual rollovers and rapid failovers between systems
Improving Precisely Assure MIMIX is going to be a really hard one; over the years, the tech support started off kind of rough but gradually got better and better as I used it often, being on a first-name basis with many of the customer service reps because of having to call with issues that they were always able to resolve fairly quickly. I would have liked to see more reporting, maybe automation of reports, but as far as integration with other systems, I always used Precisely Assure MIMIX on an AS/400, iSeries, IBM iSeries machine, and I cannot speak to using it on any other device.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best part is the possibility to spill over the lock-ups to the cloud and the spin-up part."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we received support from the manufacturer."
"The overall ease of use and management of the solution using the Infrascale Dashboard is very good. We haven't had any issues. It is easy to learn. Most of our techs who deal with backups are usually up and running with the dashboard within a day or so. They don't have a lot of buried features where you have to dig through things to get to the resolution. It is pretty self-explanatory."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."
"The interface of Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is very easy to use, and there are no problems. It's set it and forget it. You can make adjustments very easily as well."
"Overall, I set it up, configured it, deployed it, and walked away from it; it just chugs away happily."
"Given that we are in the hurricane belt, the spin-up of replicated servers in the cloud is among the most valuable features, because if our site goes down we can just connect to the cloud appliance, spin up the servers, and we are good to go."
"For this particular client, the solution’s Critical Server Insurance feature that protects physical and virtual servers including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V, was a very big factor as well. They have a bunch of physical servers, as well as virtual. The mix is predominantly virtual. They also have some NAS boxes that we back up using Infrascale."
"I see that the seamless synchronization feature is helpful for your organization or your customers' organization."
"Database replication is most valuable; it is multi-platform, so it can replicate from a variety of different database types to a variety of different database types, and it is a relatively stable database replication product."
"Precisely Assure MIMIX has positively affected our organization by reducing downtime because it takes 30 minutes from swapping from one box to another; production is back up and running within 30 minutes, and a lot of times, I could get it down to 20 minutes."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward and simple."
 

Cons

"The problem is that sometimes you can use a lot of the bandwidth to upload files."
"I'm a little bit disappointed that over the last year and a half, there hasn't been too much contact from them regarding what's going to be new or coming out."
"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection."
"One of the significant drawbacks of it is due to the fact that we're using two devices to manage the same vCenter, or virtualization environment, and they don't talk to each other. That means I can't easily see what VMs are already being protected. If I'm on Infrascale device "A" and I have protected these VMs, when I go over to device "B," I can't see that those VMs are already covered."
"There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server."
"The customer was probably down for about three days; this was a very difficult situation for us to be in."
"User interface and navigation are also not that good."
"In terms of overage, or outgrowing capacity with backups, I have an issue."
"The pricing was a little steep; I believe it could have been lower, but for what I received as far as the service, the price is pretty close."
"One thing I see as a drawback in Precisely Assure MIMIX is that deployment is quite complex and it takes time."
"It does data manipulation language (DML) replication, but it does not do data definition language (DDL) replication. In my opinion, it is a disadvantage. It would be nicer if it was able to do both DML and DDL. I'm not 100% certain of this, but it seems Oracle Golden Gate does both DML and DDL. MIMIX only does DML, and it would be very nice if they included DDL replication. This is one feature that would be very helpful to have."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is certainly a strong lobby in the company that feels that by having so many copies of the same set of data throughout the organization, we are going in the wrong direction."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing structure was changed some time ago and it's a lot more efficient and the price points are a lot better. They're improving and heading in the right direction."
"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."
"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."
"Pricing of the product could be improved. It definitely makes it a harder sell. They will usually end up getting close to the price we need, but I have to go through everybody to get the price reduced. Their list pricing is significantly higher than that of other solutions."
"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."
"Infrascale's pricing, to me, was outstanding and was one of the major factors in my decision to go with Infrascale... My customer had a different solution before and his monthly payment was three times as much as the payment he now has with Infrascale."
"The licensing provides the access to support. I do know that there's an annual charge for being able to call into their support line and get a technical team from Precisely to assist with any issues we may have. I don't think there are any additional costs other than what we incur internally in terms of the infrastructure that we need to run and operate the product."
"The cost of the product is too high."
