Retrospect Reviews & Product Details

Easy to use, great for reviews of software development after completing a sprint planning session. The Project Management functions are fantastic and allow us to skip yet another tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still play with features, great so far from everything we've tried Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives a lot of cool features that do not work or fails after a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It will always fail if you try connecting in Windows Network trough the app.

The catalog files keep getting corrupted by itself. You have to constantly repair them.

The app freezes all the time even with a formatted high-end computer that only has Retrospect installed.

When you try to actually restore a file it fails 80% of the time, either it gives an corrupted file back or the files just disappear from the backup set.

The app will ask for credentials for accessing the remote network and this pop-up screen will keep popping up forever until you close the application through Windows task manager.

We've paid $3.000,00 to upgrade to version 16 expecting a few problems to be solved and ended up with more problems than the old version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Efficient, fast and works! Retrospect logs everything so you can see at a glance what's happening and what has been completed. I've used other solutions but always came back to Retrospect after the very pretty alternatives failed to restore and left us in a mess. Retrospect has always done its job and never failed and thats vertually unheard of in 12 years of software use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the user interface does take a little getting to know, but only because it's very capable and therefore a little more complex. I think this has got a lot simpler in the latest version but I'm so familiar with it now I'm not the best person to ask! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple platform support available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Disaster recovery does not work for Windows 10. After restoring a Windows startup drive (C) the system stops with a “critical process has died” message. The log shows multiple errors during backup. Support is only available with an ASM. This turns the product into a des facto subscription model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backup and Restoration of regular file types Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no restore options for individual email from a particular mailbox, i'm not sure the latest version has such facility Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Retrospect does what it claims to do -- reliable, fast backups without too much complexity. If you need to backup multiple machines in a SMB environment retrospect will do it. Handles "time machine"-like functionality of being able to restore to a particular point in time. Able to backup to an offsite facility (in addition to cloud backup). Can backup to tape or tape library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Somewhat non-intuitive for setup. Cloud backup could be smarter, but does work. Reporting could be a little easier to used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that retrospect taking backup on scheduled time and has kept current with using the latest LTO technology and server update compatibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the current UI and user experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

manual client installation on every workstation and adding clients of VLAN's manually in Retrospect client. Adding client manually lead to miss clients. feature like templates require to configure backups fastly. Webconsole also missed and deduplication working or not from where we can check.

I like that Retrospect has kept current with using the latest LTO technology and server update compatibility. This has helped make Retrospect a reliable and somewhat stable solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the current UI and user experience. It is a very cumbersome software that is not intuitive to ensuring backup data is complete. This may be a great software for someone who's full time job is to read manuals and know how this (and others like it) work. I find myself saying "What does this do?" and looking for answers on "how tos". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's sturdy, it's straightforward to set up (but does have a great time cost to do so.) it has a multitude of different functions and once set up can be set to send emails, reports and full lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a lot of admin time to set up at first. It takes a lot of fine tuning as it makes no assumptions. This can be good in certain circumstances but I feel like we may have been too small as a company to really take advantage of it's full suite of options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
