"Excellent VM Machine, Server, and HDD Archival Suite For Multiple Tiers Of Business"

What do you like best about Paragon Backup & Recovery?

I like that you can deploy various versions of the program, based upon whether you are backing up a virtual machine, the endpoint data on a workstation, or the rack server array that has your WAN data array. The pricing structure is varied, based upon what modules you need for your companies deployment needs. I also like the option of doing this remotely, so one's Tier-II Support Tech can work conversly with the Tier-III (Network Engineer), to field deploy new rack rollouts.

What do you dislike about Paragon Backup & Recovery?

The price disparity between the server level, which is significantly higher than either the Workstation or VMWare tiers. While a cost variance is expected, a one-third price difference is a bit steep, and prices it outside of the reach of small to medium-sized businesses, which may need this flexibility; yet cannot swing the upfront costs and continuing expenses.

Recommendations to others considering Paragon Backup & Recovery:

Knowing what you need in a backup solution for your company, based upon the size, scope, industry, and budget will help you calculate that value proposition, and tell you if a solution of this scale and cost (which is in the thousands) for your company, If you are a medium-sized corporation or higher, the cost for the service is reasonable, but if you are smaller, I would look at more affordable options.

What problems is Paragon Backup & Recovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I was doing field deployments, for retail and commerce installations, I was given access to start the remote process. This allowed the store to stay operational and bring in new sales, while a shadow copy would sync vital changes since the last image, and maintain security access, via MAC Address filtering and firewall rules.
