Review on Replicated by Antonio Bacon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great technology & friendly dev teams

I used it previously but cannot comment as my experience was with another application called Blue Medora (which now has been sold off).Replicated allows replication at scale, so you can have high availability of any workload - regardless whether that's SQL or Exchange. As a developer, if it integrates into Jenkins then life becomes easier! It does all these things very well however we're moving away from using this product for new deployments currently. The team continue to add features / functionality every month, and they are actively listening to feedback/requests from enterprise customers which makes me quite happy! They have some great community involvement in terms of events and meetings. Not much dislike really! Pricing structure seems fair enough for those enterprises who are considering adoption to use this. If looking to provide multi site HA capabilities and be able to support various different platforms within your organisation then this will fit perfectly along with other technologies like blue medora etc. I'd recommend anyone requiring an Enterprise level solution should consider Replicated due too its scalability within our customer base. It helps us ensure there is redundancy of sites without having duplicate I like that it's open source, so you can see how things work under the hood. The tooling feels pretty good - easy to get started with but has enough depth to be able to use in more complex scenarios as well. It would be nice if there was some documentation around what each of the different components do or are used for (e.g., when should we choose one over another). We're using it internally at our organization to help us build out an application which needs to run within a Kubernetes cluster.
