Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"This solution is stable."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Compression is the most valuable feature."
"The interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the easy-to-use intuitive GUI. It is very easy to understand. I have never lost data and I have been able to recover all the data I need."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"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."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"The solution lacked local support, which became an issue for us and our customers. They needed to have more presence on the ground."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
"It's not too stable for client-server architecture. Center Management is not so interactive, and then there are some issues regarding the complex licensing which needs improvement."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"The pricing is an area of improvement and the mode of marketing it."
