Its "progressive incremental forever" backup approach is unbeatable. After the first baseline, it only backs up changed data, which slashes backup windows and saves huge amounts of storage via native deduplication. It just hums along reliably across hybrid servers without eating up unnecessary network bandwidth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The steep learning curve is definitely the hardest part. The Operations Center web GUI is decent for daily monitoring, but when complex scheduling, policy changes, or deep troubleshooting are needed, you’re forced back into archaic CLI syntax. Initial deployment and storage pool tuning take serious patience, and navigating legacy error codes without seasoned admin experience can be brutal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
