Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"I like the tool's speed."
"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
