Installed and configured it (done by one of their partners), and it ran
great for about 4 weeks. After that, we had 4 or 5 failovers that were
triggered when the secondary server could no longer see the primary
server. What was disconcerting was that while the secondary server was
complaining (via the dedicated link to the primary) that it could not
detect the primary, it was busy accepting replicated data from the
primary. And, of course when the failover takes place and both servers
are present on the network, Exchange services all stopped. The only
solution was a reboot of both boxes. In each case, after sending
countless logs to the vendor, the best explanation we were given was
that "something unusual happened". The only thing unusual was that my
VP purchased this piece of software without consulting me. After
experiencing more down time in 3 weeks than we had experienced in the
previous year, we called the partner in and offered him to software
back. To his credit, he gave us a 100% refund, as we purchase other
products and services from them. It was rather amusing a few weeks
later when we came across some promotional material for Neverfail for
Exchange and discovered, to our surprise, That we were listed as one of
their happy customers.
Around here, we now refer to this product as EverFail. Your experience
may vary.

Hmm. That's cryptic. Care to elaborate?

If you use it, it will fail.
