Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"This solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."
"In general, the solution is quite user-friendly. The GUI is very nice."
"We cannot live without it, since it gives us the confidence to move forward."
"The main feature of this product is a flexible architecture and functionality that allows you to solve problems of any complexity and scale. Most importantly, it is not just a product that simply makes a backup, but it restores and saves a large number of services in critical situations. By the way, it works fine with different types of clouds, supports S3."
"It provides our customers with the comfort of having reliable enterprise data protection."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is its ability to verify the recoverability of backups."
"IBM Spectrum Protect is a scalable solution."
"by backing up only the changed data, we average around 75TB per night. If we had to do full backups, even occasionally, we would not be able to complete the backup within 12 hours, or we would have to make a large investment to fit a full backup within the 12 hour window."
"This solution has improved our organization through better file and database recovery."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"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 initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Stability."
"The only thing that I would like to have a little more of is insight in reporting. I find that Spectrum Protect needs a lot of monitoring, and I have to actually log into the servers."
"It needs BMR (bare machine recovery) solutions for both Windows and Linux systems."
"Most customers still struggle with the reporting piece, especially generating reports. I think it needs some improvements in this area."
"It seems like they are a little behind on the integration to Azure Cloud as well as Amazon."
"Stability is very good now. It used to be rocky years ago."
"It needs better connectivity with other non-IBM application hardware and non-IBM platforms."
"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."
"If IBM could provide a partial module, that would be great."
