Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"Regarding stability, it's been rock solid."
"I find the whole product useful. The backup archive client, snapshot, spectrum for virtual environments are beneficial features."
"The way it covers backup and archive needs. The flexibility of backup copy group always allows me to cover the customer's requests."
"The product is very stable."
"Its incremental forever approach is valuable, so we don't have to load tapes to do a restore."
"It is a very good and mature enterprise product. Once it is set up and everything is put in, you don't have to manage it. It actually runs automatically by itself."
"The feature we have found most valuable is when you want to integrate it with a Tape Library and then do the DRM life cycle. That is when it works the best."
"We have a very good team of administrators who know the product perfectly and are able to manage it on a day-to-day basis."
"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."
"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."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"Stability."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"We would like to see cloud integration."
"There have been scalability issues. The core product does not support scale out. We needed to create a new system and manage resources separate from the existing one."
"The solution should improve the ability to monitor backup failure."
"This solution does not have good support for virtualization and a hyper-converged environment."
"This product comes up against other products available that are marketed better but the other products that it's in competition with are a single product and this is one of IBM products. If it could be marketed as more for competitors I think that's where it comes short."
"It would be helpful if the solution included some sort of ransomware protection."
"Our customers would like to see metadata replication, tearing to tape, and more cloud capabilities."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
