Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"It is a global major solution for quite a lot of people."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"I would want them to improve some technical features that are still missing because we are working with NetApp NVMe and they're not fully supporting it yet. But both NetApp and Veeam know about it and they're working on it."
"The stability for AIX machines could be better."
"The backup and integration could be improved."
"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that."
"There's a situation where VMs run on different locks. It's running on the VM while having a relationship with nearby solutions running on the same server and storage. This creates a bottleneck that needs to be eliminated."
"There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."
