Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Every time we go and try to get a file, we can get it. Restores are quick and the data is always there."
"From a tech perspective, utilizing deduplication is one of the most valuable features."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is its ability to verify the recoverability of backups."
"Traditional archiving. One of our revenue streams involves maintaining archives of our customers' data for very long periods of time."
"Good user interface."
"I find the whole product useful. The backup archive client, snapshot, spectrum for virtual environments are beneficial features."
"The solution is very stable. It is one of the most important features that we look for in a product before putting it into the market and when establishing a strategy with our customers."
"The backup on real-time, especially for the virtual machine, archiving, and retrieving the reader from the backup repository and getting it online, getting it validated, then performing the data consistency check over the backup."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"The technical support is good."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"My customers are not always happy with the Level 1 support. Sometimes, it just takes too long for the response to come, which is probably something that needs to be addressed."
"This solution does not have good support for virtualization and a hyper-converged environment."
"This solution is not mature in terms of disaster recovery and could be improved."
"The user interface (UI) for the admin is still not good. It is way too complicated to manage the product, as we still need to use command line. IBM launched the Operations Center (OC), but there are still functions lacking, especially since we cannot manage all our scheduled tasks by using the GUI."
"The software is very complicated. You have to do a lot of configurations to build a server, and you would need to backup and restore."
"The installation process could be simplified."
"This product comes up against other products available that are marketed better but the other products that it's in competition with are a single product and this is one of IBM products. If it could be marketed as more for competitors I think that's where it comes short."
"It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"The integration needs improvement."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
