Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution has been very stable."
"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 agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The solution is really scalable."
"I have found that the most valuable feature is useful documentation and troubleshooting."
"Its incremental forever approach is valuable, so we don't have to load tapes to do a restore."
"It scales well for the amount of clients that we use with it."
"Good deduplication and compression features."
"The most valuable features are compression and de-duplication."
"We optimize our costs of media and storage use, thanks to the Incremental Forever backup. The TDP software provides us many ways to protect our data, so we don't need to use monstrous scripts for doing backups now."
"In general, the solution is quite user-friendly. The GUI is very nice."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Replication services would be nice. If these could be enhanced to be always on so multiple storage backup services could be added as a cluster pool. This would provide a better availability service."
"Their support is lacking. I've talked to their developers and stuff in the last couple of weeks and they reassure me that some people have retired, and they're working on getting that bumped back up. But the support lacks a lot to be desired at this point."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"It has a lot of areas for improvement. Its reporting for job completion or incompletion can be improved. It should also provide a granular recovery, ease of operation, data life cycle management, and media management. It should support a backup in such a format that in case of a disaster, one can start the virtual machine out of the backup itself. Its reliability can also be better. It is also expensive, and their support is also poor."
"High availability (HA) is a scalability challenge."
"They need to reduce the complexity and make the learning curve easier."
"Stability is very good now. It used to be rocky years ago."
"Ease of use."
