Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"This solution is stable."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"Using Zerto for the migration was incredibly valuable, enabling us to save tremendous amounts of time."
"The most valuable feature is real-time replication, where we have the ability to recover things in near real-time."
"The fact that we are able to test the failover of live systems during regular hours is invaluable to our organization."
"The ease of use and simplicity in moving things without having to do a cross-v set of V-motions has been most valuable. It saves time and effort and it eliminates mistakes."
"Zerto is extremely easy to use. You set it and forget it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of upgrades."
"It is convenient to use because the API allows for seamless integration when performing our day-to-day operations."
"There are several valuable features because of the way we use it. The backup and restore features are definitely indispensable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Stability."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The only issue that I observed was that depending on the number of virtual machines that are being replicated, you will have to provision the appropriate bandwidth for the link that the replicated systems will traverse."
"Their offsite backup is a bit clunky, but it will probably improve."
"Zerto's near-synchronous replication is excellent when it works. I'm trying to be nice to them because I like the product a lot, but we're having a lot of difficulty with it in our environment."
"An area for improvement is the support because it gets really expensive. They need to make it a little cheaper. Support also takes time."
"We would love to have a native management pack for vROps and to be able to view a dashboard and metrics for BPGs within vROps. We would like to have a single view for monitoring and provide customers with dashboards so they can see their own BPGs."
"The email alerts can be excessive, so better control over frequency or resolution may be a worthwhile improvement."
"The post-configuration part could be improved. For example, it would be super helpful to have the ability to modify DNS. Once the migration is done, we want to do some more modifications to the endpoint."
"I had to have my colleague contact technical support because we had an issue where VMs in VMware were getting blocked, and we weren't able to delete them."
