Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"This solution is stable."
"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."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"Replication processes with container storage pools allow reduction of storage space and network bandwidth, using deduplication and compression."
"The archiving feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"I love the TDP for VMware because of the web interface and the possibilities provided by this tool. It's amazing."
"It allows us to have one interface."
"The D2D2T archive of my PACS data improved after I put Spectrum Protect 8.1.4 into production."
"It is a very stable product. The cost is similar to that of other enterprise solutions."
"It is more efficient than most traditional backup solutions."
"We work very closely together with IBM using their Support Center, but we have a strong contact in their development teams, and we have dedicated people from IBM working with us."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"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."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Integration with some applications in the healthcare field could be added, as that is a big part of our business."
"I think Spectrum Protect's interface is not so user-friendly, but the interface is not so friendly. Some of the functions are too complicated. I prefer a simpler solution."
"It does not do too well in our virtual environment."
"The product should be improved to save more space."
"In a future release, it would be a benefit to have the ability to add an application as a storage target, as a storage pool. Additionally, they should add more functionality to the administration for the Operation Center."
"It could use single store. The ability to mark an archive from my backup for long-term retention."
"We need everything cloud. Strong support for cloud services. S3 connectivity, which is mandatory for us in the future along with this integration of Spectrum Copy Data Management or Spectrum Protect services together with these Spectrum Protect Plus functionalities, e.g., hardware, snapshots, and Copy Data Management. They should come together in one solution."
"It might be seen as leaning towards the legacy side, missing some features of newer solutions. The main drawbacks would be its complexity and high pricing."
