Catalogic Software Reviews

Catalogic (formerly called Syncsort) is the data protection division spun off in 2014 from the 44 yr old Syncsort company, which historically provided mainframe software. The data protection group behaved like a "40-yr-old startup" company, and was very nimble with new product releases, new features, and an overall "can do" attitude. The sales teams -- insides sales, direct sales, channel sales and all the presales engineers like myself -- we all ran fast, worked hard, traveled a fair amount, and generally had lots of fun. Our product for backup/recovery/DR commonly beat out well established market leaders like CommVault and EMC, due to its leading feature set, especially around virtual machine protection. Catalogic has also focused in recent years on "copy data management", approaching the data protection requirements obliquely, and not necessarily addressing market leaders head on anymore.

Working at Catalogic is a best of both worlds scenario. We work alongside some of the biggest players in the IT industry while maintaining a close-knit culture. This keeps us small, agile and innovative but opens us up to opportunities typically only afforded to much larger companies. Having worked for both very large and very small companies during my career, Catalogic strikes a nice balance. We also have a culture that rewards you for pushing yourself . Most roles allow and encourage you to try new things outside of your area of expertise. This is great for career and personal growth. It's been a challenging and rewarding experience working here. Salary and benefits are competitive.
