Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It helps our customers protect their data, keep it long-term, and feel pretty secure about it, basically sleeping well at night."
"Data archiving is easier and less time-consuming."
"We can use it with any storage for the back-end to save data."
"by backing up only the changed data, we average around 75TB per night. If we had to do full backups, even occasionally, we would not be able to complete the backup within 12 hours, or we would have to make a large investment to fit a full backup within the 12 hour window."
"The most valuable features are compression and de-duplication."
"The backup on real-time, especially for the virtual machine, archiving, and retrieving the reader from the backup repository and getting it online, getting it validated, then performing the data consistency check over the backup."
"The addition of the retention set feature provides a reduction in storage costs. It also reduces RTO and RPO so that you can respond quickly to your clients and services in case of data loss."
"The most valuable features of Spectrum Protect would be the compression and the deduplication."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"There could be various client systems and process integration included in the product."
"It might be seen as leaning towards the legacy side, missing some features of newer solutions. The main drawbacks would be its complexity and high pricing."
"The administration tools for GI need improvement, as the current assessment suggests shortcomings in the back-end system."
"RTO is a huge gap for us. If we had a disaster scenario and had to recover a bunch of stuff from tape, the RTO would be too long for us."
"I would like to advance reporting and analytics for the platform to see how much data is coming into the platform. how much data is expiring everyday, and what tape savings we are getting through reclamation."
"Most customers still struggle with the reporting piece, especially generating reports. I think it needs some improvements in this area."
"It seems like they are a little behind on the integration to Azure Cloud as well as Amazon."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of use - the GUI is not up to the mark compared to other products in the market."
