Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"Traditional archiving. One of our revenue streams involves maintaining archives of our customers' data for very long periods of time."
"The interface is easy to use."
"It helps our customers protect their data, keep it long-term, and feel pretty secure about it, basically sleeping well at night."
"All other products contain the same features, but when I'm backing up an IBM Power server I feel more comfortable with IBM Spectrum Protect because it's the same vendor."
"We can use it with any storage for the back-end to save data."
"Instead of taking three different backups of your systems, you're taking only one. You're able to crack that open and get what you need. The incident recovery, where it creates the VM and then you're running it, technically you're running it on Spectrum Protect. But then in the background, it's doing the storage motion and moving it off the Spectrum Protect back to your VMware environment. The users don't know the difference."
"A robust tool which allows us to backup pretty much any environment, virtual or physical."
"We cannot live without it, since it gives us the confidence to move forward."
"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."
"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"I would like to see monitoring within the platform: monitoring for storage pools and monitoring for the server's health (e.g., CPU and memory)."
"The usability of IBM Spectrum Protect could be improved, specifically additional features to the product in the operations center. Additional reporting facilities and stronger reporting tools such as build dashboards would be beneficial."
"It's difficult in terms of the configuration at set up. In our case, it required another admin, one person dedicated to the backup."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"IBM Spectrum Protect does have a lot of the features that we need, but I think they need to improve their backup virtualization and backup for container."
"Our customers would like to see metadata replication, tearing to tape, and more cloud capabilities."
"The product should be improved to save more space."
"Generally, the implementation of virtualization could be improved. The workflow service and so on are not working properly."
