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 is also a product that has been maturing for a long time. This is good because customers need reliability in their enterprise initiatives."
"The ability to do dedupe in the product is nice to have."
"It integrates well with Spectrum Scale."
"We apply the new dedupe and compression technology, using maintenance and time to give more time for the backup window and less time for the overhead related to the daily housekeeping."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in IBM Spectrum Protect is that it allows you to back up physical machines, and its proxy feature lets you back up virtual machines."
"The technical support for Spectrum Protect is very mature. It is very committed to giving a top-notch support experience."
"With Spectrum Protect, you can use any type of disk to back-end the repositories. It gave us flexibility to use whatever storage we wanted at our secondary site."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The solution needs to work on disaster recovery integration. Basically, VMware applications to the cloud, for example. There needs to be integration with the storage, and integration with VMware."
"They do not have a unified GUI, they only work on CLI and operations center, which is really complicated for the installation and configuration."
"Sometimes we experience trouble with the backup transfer of the control files."
"Easier configuration of some of the products, e.g., VE comes to mind."
"Probably educating the virtual group who are not as used to the product. Most of our expertise is with AIX servers and virtual server backups."
"They are behind on many things, especially security. They are catching up a little bit now, but the competitors are doing better security-wise. There should be malware detection and prevention and higher security."
"We should be talking about the capacity of the tape drives. That's the only problem."
"The product’s recovery process in terms of agent installation needs improvement"
