The comparison criteria that I made for the enterprise backup software towards the end of 2016 are as follows:
Feature | |
Capability | Can it back up its own deduplicated disk |
has it DR active management server | |
The difficulty of AlwaysON SQL Restore | |
Reporting | |
backup and restore the last full backup with the command | |
Get VM backups with queries(Tag or cluster) | |
Hardware requirements | |
Configuring sysadmin user for AlwaysOn SQL | |
Extra Properties: Disk to disk replication | |
Complexity | Is interface user friendly |
Is troubleshooting easy | |
Are installation and upgrade easy | |
User Authorization | |
Security | Audit Logging |
Do I need login to the client for MSSQL backup configurations? | |
Do I need login to the client for MSSQL restore? | |
Do I need login to the client for troubleshooting? | |
Customer Support | Gartner Report |
Vendor Support | |
Local Support | |
