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."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"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."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"It provides a new environment in an expedient manner."
"The virtualization this solution offer is very complete for the infrastructure."
"Since we have an internal cloud, suddenly people may require 1000 or 2000 VMS in something. We have options to analyze and make sure we have enough scalability."
"Its dynamic resource scheduling and its fault tolerance capabilities are two features that I've found to be valuable. I also like that VMware vSphere is stable, scalable, and easy to install."
"Tech support is very knowledgeable."
"The visibility that we have of our VMs is also important. What's being applied? Who has management of them? Laying it out in a virtual environment allows us customization for our students. We're able to respond to the students' needs much more quickly than we could in a physical environment."
"The solution is stable."
"We have seen an improvement in uptime. The whole hardware lifecycle process is easier."
"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."
"Stability."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The solution’s pricing is too high and could be improved."
"VMware vSphere could improve on the automation features and the ease of use of the solution in many areas, such as the interface. However, VMware is doing lots of great things."
"The cost could always be lower."
"The solution's technical team is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The licensing costs for the solution are quite high."
"Sometimes it's impossible to prevent problems from happening. With vSphere, you never know where the problem is going to come from, but you will always know that there is a problem. This is the problem."
"It would be useful to have features like micro-segmentation, changing the mix as well as part of vSphere"
"NSX is a product of VMware vSphere and it would be nice to see the solution have full integration capabilities with it."
