Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced."
"The main benefit is that we are secured in terms of workloads. We know that if we need to restore any VMs, or even any files inside a VM, that we will succeed 100 percent. This means that we don't need to spend much time administering the backup environment because we know it is self-healing and efficient. So, we are spending that time on something else, which is always a plus."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"It has also saved us time managing backups. It's pretty stable. So it sends us a report if something goes wrong, then you get a report. You don't really need to manually monitor this software over time. If something happens, you'll get an error and you'll get an email notification and then address it. We found the product pretty stable if it's configured correctly. So it has reduced management time."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product is free to use. We don't have to pay for a license."

"It's powerful and user-friendly."
"Technical support is good."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload. You have to install a backup service on the server. You only have to do it once and then you're done, but you have to do that on every server that you want to protect."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"The backups can go slow."
"There should be an option to use the solution for physical machines."
"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."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
