Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution has been very stable."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"Everyone wants a full backup. It gives them safety and peace of mind, like an insurance policy for that rainy day when they may need to restore a system."
"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 best part of this solution is that it just works."
"It is a very good and mature enterprise product. Once it is set up and everything is put in, you don't have to manage it. It actually runs automatically by itself."
"The fact that we can take the backup straight onto tape is the most valuable feature."
"Disk-based implementation of a data protection solution for multiple sites is a better fit for my complex data protection needs."
"We have better, faster backup times, and it has improved efficiency in the backups."
"We are talking about a stable solution which boasts good performance and security."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"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."
"The installation process could be simplified."
"Perhaps some better documentation, which I believe was better in the past."
"The solution should have better integration with VMware and with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus."
"The version that we had when I first started made it look really bad. We are talking about commands that should have run in two seconds, but instead took four to eight hours. Other components were sluggish."
"Getting technical support all the necessary diagnostic information is still very painful."
"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)."
"Any feature that is compliant with virtualizing the application should be improved."
