Redstor Backup and Archiving Pros and Cons

I love the fact that this cloud storage platform takes the data where ever you want from on your local computer and store it in the cloud. So if my computer or any client's computer crash, then all that data will be retrievable through Redstor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None to be dislike of Redstor. I love the app and all the functions it has to store all my important data from my computer to the cloud. Maybe a bit more of smooth edges will do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redstor is great for customising your backup to device/data specific requirements. I use or interact with either RedApp, the Storage Platform Console and ESE Client daily to setup and maintain backups for multiple devices which includes servers.

RedApp is customer focussed and a user friendly dashboard for your organisation. Within that you can setup your customers, see an overview of all backups, deploy the ESE Client etc. Integrating Redstor as a cloud backup service to our customers who only used onsite NAS backups was straightfoward, quick and offers a more efficient backup solution which can also run alongside the NAS if they wish. The Storage Platform Console is a great tool to quickly check devices, delpoy the ESE Client with pre-configured account information/requirements and schedule so that Redstor is installed and ready to use instantly. Its great for configuring customers into groups or collections and setting features on a per customer basis in line with the package they purchased. I like that you can also update the account password or create key within the console and that it contains information relating to the setup for that account. The ESE client is easy to install onto devices and configure as the menu options are clearly set out. You're able to change things such as network speed, schedule, local copy, archiving etc. depending on your setup or leave as defaults. You can include/exclude items quickly, change from or to a full system backup, drill down into folders and I find the Instant Data option is a great feature for faster restores. The logs preovided are clear and informative after each backup or task ran.

The Redstor Support team are very friendly, helpful and informative - when we have had to ask for assistance we were always greeted politly and provided steps to take, in a way we'd understand. They provided quick responses and kept in contact until the issue was resolved. I've also had other contact with Redstor employees from marketing and training, again they were very helpful, friendly and provide a great service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is more costly than other providers.

Not many reporting options on the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is definitely one of the best features. On top of that, the application is very easy and simple to use even a customer can use it.

Automatic, encrypted backups, RedStor has been a leader in the industry for a long time.

RedStor's interface is simple to use and to understand. Very easy and quick to implement. Customer support is just top notch.

Integrating RedStor is one of the most simplest things compared to any other backup system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost of per GB struggles to compete with Arconis Cyber Protect. This is correct, but.

Arconis interface and ease of use does not compare. Arconis can be a headache soetimes.

The only other thing I dislike about Redstore is that sometimes with an upgrade, it loses the credentials and has to be completely removed and reinstalled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is laid out simply. The functions are intuitive. You can group your clients and customers into different groups. There are limits so you can manage your client's storge. I get daily and monthly reports, as well as my clients, can log in to the system and manage their own storage. The support is great, and easy to log a support request.

The web interface is not where the console is, the functionality is coming, but slow. I use a Mac and thus the console I cannot use on my mac, as it is only windows supported. Online restore would be a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redstor is ideal for O365, machine, Physical server and Virtual servers. With easy access to monitor and restore without the hassle of going onsite.

Also the biggest benefit is that no equipment is required as most Software these day require a onsite storage and then back to the storage and then to the cloud, where redstor skips all and goes straight to the cloud.

The support team is helpful aswell when assistance is need.

Easy and affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting is a little vague on the Office 365 end, it does need a little work. Best to be transparent with all errors if we need to troubleshoot. Reporting is something that needs work such as more information if we need to investigate something older than a month or with failed back ups on 365.

Thats about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redstor backup does not require any Onsite equipment like most back up solutions. I like that you can register your device and simply run your back ups straight to the cloud instead of running it to a onsite Storage and then to the cloud as most Vendors require this method. TOP TOP TOP!

We use this frequently for our clients and simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just the reporting if you require to investigate a little deeper, however the redstor team assist quick enough for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backups for various applications & servers with databases.

Great reporting & service.

Report details could be enhanced with more information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is well designed and allows for easy training for end users and allows them to understand and effectively utilize the full capability RedStor has to offer. The support provided for critical issues is of a high standard as well resolving issues and minimizing downtime for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not very often but the occasional CPU overload of the software running on outdated machines. A lite version of the software recommended for older machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am fond of the in-depth control that Redstor provides for folder and file-specific backups and archiving, especially the options and tools provided for every need and use case with time constraints in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would not say I have any dislikes honestly. If I have to mention something then I'd say that the UI could use some personalization options but that does not have anything to do with the preformance of the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's all Cloud-based, allows us to recover up to 30 days of backups and is very easy to use. Give you a daily report of the backups so to check in case of any failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Does have glitches on the daily reports, most of which are proven to be nothing but gives you concern when you first see them. You do have to remember to close down the program after doing a restore or it will fail to do a backup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
