Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."This solution is stable."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"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 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."
"It helps to automate the data replication and DR (disaster recovery)."
"You see more responsiveness, especially now with having the HTML5 client. It feels like a much snappier product."
"The scalability has been good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution would be the basic feature of server virtualization, we use it everywhere."
"It is a very dependable solution. Its performance is very good, and it is also easy to manage and implement."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"We could easily move workloads from on-premises to the cloud and vice versa if we were running on-premises and cloud, which is one of the most important points in the new releases, in particular."
"There are no issues with the level of scalability you can achieve."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Stability."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"They should make it more efficient and stable."
"The price could be better. The licensing is definitely expensive and tech support is sometimes frustrating."
"The solution could be cheaper and less expensive."
"In addition, I think they should come up with a backup feature which is more product enrichment-based. It should be a full-fledged backup solution. It just is not there right now."
"The technical support is good. However, it could be more seamless when it comes to chat support and lower response times."
"Without a lot of physical RAM on the hardware, it's not very effective. The stability could be improved in cases like this."
"The way that vSphere manages the alerts on the data machine is not easy to configure."
"It is not easy to upgrade VMware vSphere from an old version to a new version."
