Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Its compression and deduplication allow us to store more backups and save storage space. The reporting is great; we are able to obtain critical business reports and infrastructure/usage information very easily."
"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"It's very stable."
"Restoring is very fast. In testing, I did a restore for a single item from a mailbox. Within a minute, I had the message back in my mailbox. So, it didn't take hours or days. Obviously, there will be a limit. If we suddenly go into DR and have to restore five terabytes of emails for people, then it will take a couple of days, which would be acceptable. For general usage, where we have to do the odd restore, we have never had issues. It happens within minutes."
"We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."
"Commvault's many features can be explored to get more value from more solutions."
"Commvault can perform a backup no matter where you are, and it takes a backup every four hours. No matter when you come to the office, it'll take a backup if you're connected to the internet and check the system for online availability."
"In terms of the speed of backup, it operates seamlessly, so I'd rate it as excellent... with my daily use and workload, quite honestly I don't even notice when it backs up."
"Application awareness is very good and the speed of this solution is good."
"Technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a VMware environment."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was very easy. Deployment only took about one hour with configuration and everything considered."
"Solution provides good security."
"We found the initial setup to be quite simple."
"Veeam is very user-friendly and intuitive software."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows's most useful features is the ease of use and user-friendly."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"They can improve the VMware recovery and VMware backup. There is an improvement area on the VMware infrastructure. They can make available what they call a VSA proxy. They can have an appliance-type setup to deploy VSA backups and help recover quicker. They can have an appliance ready. Instead of having to have a server dedicated to that and installing software on a server, they can just provide an actual appliance for that."
"Commvault likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to merging with other platforms, but sometimes it's before they have the solution truly baked in. Office 365 is an example. I feel that my company might be a litmus test for their solution, because we have such a large environment. Some of the promised solutions that we received from Commvault were more like testing solutions. They weren't really validated, meaning they were possibilities. There have been a lot of hot fixes for the solution that we're using right now, more than we expected."
"The initial installation is straightforward and took approximately two days. However, the process could be more simple."
"The setup is not that straightforward or easy. Even the documentation is not generic or public like other products. You have to be a partner or you have to have a specific account and download it from the vendor themselves."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"The reporting could be improved because the reports we get from our partner aren't sufficient. It isn't very detailed. I'm not sure if it's an issue with our partner or Metallic. They do a full backup on Monday and incremental backups throughout the week. However, we don't get detailed reports about the size of the incremental backups. The report just tells us whether a backup was successful."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
"With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive."
"Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."
"If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
"The solution lacks instant recovery."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
