Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Scalability: Our customers are able to grow the product without having to buy additional hardware, so it is very scalable."
"Replication processes with container storage pools allow reduction of storage space and network bandwidth, using deduplication and compression."
"We have been using it for several years, and it is quite reliable and predictable. We are quite comfortable with this solution. They're coming up with new features as well. It has good scalability, and it provides good integrations with business-critical applications or databases, such as SAP HANA. It works as expected, and we don't see any issues."
"The solution is mostly stable."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is its ability to verify the recoverability of backups."
"We like IBM Spectrum's versioning capabilities. It lets us specify how many versions of a file we want to keep and for how long. Also, the archive component of the software helps us a lot."
"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."
"It covers all the different operating systems. If you need backup, it can pretty much do everything."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should have a proper technical support team serving the customers and get issues resolved earlier."
"This solution does not have good support for virtualization and a hyper-converged environment."
"Integration with some applications in the healthcare field could be added, as that is a big part of our business."
"The features should be a little bit closer together."
"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)."
"We recently had a situation where we quickly got code, and the number of tapes exceeded the library capacity so we were waiting a while to change. We got a fix for this right away."
"Its price can be better. It is very expensive. Its interface is very old and not user friendly. They can improve its interface. Their support can also be better. My clients are not very satisfied with the support because they are not really quick."
"No one can fix every solution for backup and restore."
