What do you like best about Resilio Active Everywhere?

The easability of using the product to sync data from one storage to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resilio Active Everywhere?

At the end, it's still a file base syncing, so it'll never be better than block level snapshots and backup. Still has a bunch of technical issues like fail to sync files/folders for whatever reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best file synchronisation / distribution tool on the market"
5/5
What do you like best about Resilio Active Everywhere?

We had the challenge to synchronize a couple thousand server with millions of files on each to new hardware, ideally with as little downtime and impact to production as possible. While various other tools seemed to do the job fine at first they all started to fail or got unusable slow once a very high amount of files had to be synced. The only tool we found that was able to do the job and not only get it done, but get it done fast and reliable was resilio.

Beside beeing able to synchronize massive amounts of files, the deployment and managment of hundreds of synchronization jobs was super simple, thanks to the centralized management console and API.

There are plenty of controls available to manage performance impact on the machine, like how many disk workers are active, how many requests should be handeled in parallel and a time based bandwidth scheduler that alows faster syncing when the production load on the machine is low. The possebility to mange differnt profiles for different machine and job types makes it super simple to assign specific load profiles to your different groups of machines.

Synchronisation errors can be easily tracked in the console or via the API so you always have an overview if any files causes trouble with the synchronization and can fix it if needed.

Thanks to the flexebility on how their agents can connect (directly / via proxy / chained) and controls on which agent can communicate with which other agent it is possible to adopt it to any network layout / policy I can think of.

One thing that makes them absolutely outstanding is their awesome customer support, they respond super fast, they have a ready solution for almost any problem you could run into (there are tons of advanced configuration options that are not directly visible) and if there's a problem they can't solve directly they get the dev team involved to find a solution.

All in all the best synchronization tool out there and the best customer experience in a very long time with the resilio team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resilio Active Everywhere?

There's not really anything we disliked.

However, as with everything, there are some parts that could be improved:

The access management should be sufficent for most user, but if you need a more fine grained or full isolation it gets to it's limits, in case you need a more fine grained or full isolation you can ask them to have a second management console, that solved the problem for us.

Hardlinked and sparse files can cause trouble, currently hard linked files and sparse files are treated like normal files, so they get synced, but allocate their own/full space on the target side, it would be nice if those could be detected as hardlinks / sparse files. But I can also see how the hardlink detection could cause some serious performance impact if there's a massive amount of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Fonda Karapateas of Resilio Active Everywhere

Thanks so much for sharing your experience Christian! We're thrilled Resilio Active Everywhere was able to handle your large scale sync needs where other tools fell short, especially with millions of files and tight performance requirements. It's great to hear the centralized management, performance controls, and customer support made such a strong impact. We appreciate your feedback.

"Resilio Active Everywhere made file server synchronization a breeze for us"
5/5
What do you like best about Resilio Active Everywhere?

We switched to Resilio Active Everywhere for synchronizing our file shares between multiple servers. We chose it because of its ease of use. Their customer support helped us get the software running before the ink was dry on the agreement. I couldn't tell you the number of features that Resilio Active Everywhere has, but I know it does what we needed extremely well. We discovered that DFSR had broken due to a group policy change and files were out of sync. The DFS Private folders had started to accumulate issue files and had almost doubled the drive usage. Resilio was able to get everything synchronized again within a couple of hours. It was extremely easy to implement and integrate into our existing file shares. It was completely seamless to the end users. I go weeks without logging into Resilio because it is a set and forget kind of product. It just does what it needs to without any intervention from our team. It is frequently in use but it does not require any input from you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resilio Active Everywhere?

I can not think of any downsides of Resilio Active Everywhere. I wish it was a little cheaper but there is nothing else out there that comes close to fixing the file server synchronization issue that we had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Carolina Ibarra of Resilio Active Everywhere
