Hard to find something I don't like about it. We had a couple of very old PCs that couldn't run it because running backups killed performance. But like I said those were very old PCs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup and use. Works great with Storagecraft Cloud, seamless integration from local to cloud backup. Also great for starting up virtual machines for rapid spin-up of high reliability backups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting can be noisy, lots of little errors that don't affect quality of the backup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The smooth and user friendly interface. It, as a whole, provides a very easy to use experience, with all aspects of the service clearly laid out - the visual aspect has tenacious attention paid to it, and really gives little to no difficulty in day to day use, or even at setup.

The requisite of purchasing from a reseller, rather than being able to easily purchase directly from the company. It took us several weeks before we were able to obtain use of the service, which I believe is more hindering to a business than of any use. The setup period is also going to be a point of issue for those not versed correctly in high end, large scale IT solutions. Service costs may be quite high as a result during the setup period.

It is a very fast and efficient software to make a backup on all the little time it takes to execute it. It is very good software to get backup information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost of this software I don't really like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shadow Protect has the ability to restore full VM's to new storage locations and spin up a VM if it fails. Save Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no ability to do file searching, only browsing of restore points that have to be individually mounted Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pretty functional and comprehensive. Can keep users from changing settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not very detailed on some reports. Not very intuitive for basic user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My Co workers and I have used this as our safety net. Every feature has worked as promised. It was an easy transition to have some backup files transferred to another system. We have never worried about our files because it backups all of our computers without us even realizing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support system could be a little better. But we fix our own problems too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Consistently works well. We don't have to worry about backups because they just run and work when we need to access them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Kaseya, and the interface with ShadowProtect is pathetic . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The backup exploration is really helpful, we use in combination with our BDR system. It's very in-depth and has been invaluable to our company. The VirtualBoot option is an option we've used less-often, but it's nice to have that safety net available to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The licensing for us at least is by-server. This ends up being a very costly expense for an appliance that in an ideal world we'd never have to use.

Potentially this is the fault of our reseller, I inherited this system from my predecessor and overall while it's been great software, I've been unable to justify the price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ShadowProtect does a good job of successfully backing up volumes at increments as frequently as 15 minutes. Mounting those incremental backups is easy and fast making searching for that file a user deleted "sometime in the last day or two" simple.

The Replication functionality makes having multiple copies of the same backup site in different location simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a lack of a central management console to easily be able to manage all backups at once. The backup solution is not application aware like other solutions.

The replication tool can use up a lot of system resources when replicating large backup sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The performance and reliability of the software is best in the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really don't have anything negative to say about ShadowProtect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is without a doubt the fastest backup software on the market. I've been using ShadowProtect to protect my clients and it has always been 100% reliable. Love the explore - restore feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very expensive, all competitors are much cheaper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
