Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The main thing is to keep the data safe and in files, keep it on tape ready for a request from a bank, and it is working perfectly with all our hardware."
"The product is very stable."
"The best part of this solution is that it just works."
"Every time customers make a change or we have made a change, then they use the product to do a cloning and refreshing. They are happy that they get good performance something changes."
"A robust tool which allows us to backup pretty much any environment, virtual or physical."
"We are able to run it in an enterprise quite easily with one or two resources."
"I find the whole product useful. The backup archive client, snapshot, spectrum for virtual environments are beneficial features."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"Stability."
"I would like to see more technical training online. Sometimes, it is a little bit difficult to find, or that I do not really know what I am looking for as somebody who is starting off finding their learning curve."
"Our new leadership has pushed us to go more toward the cloud, so we are definitely going to leverage anything we can in that direction."
"Although I am not a technical user, I would say the cloud integration features could be improved."
"The previous GUI that they had was slow, and it did not have enough information on it."
"I find the solution somewhat difficult to use with virtual environments or VMware."
"It seems like they are a little behind on the integration to Azure Cloud as well as Amazon."
"There have been some sizing issues now, and we are dealing with those."
"In terms of features, they've got it all covered. The features they have are quite good. The only downside to it is that it is for an enterprise or big organization. In my opinion, it is not for a small business."
