Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"Scalability is very good."
"I would like to see more web support."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
