Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope."
"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
"This is easy to use with a simple restore feature."
"Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage."
"I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs."
"The backups we have been receiving from Veeam Backup Replication on-premise have been good."
"I like the new releases that Dell EMC is doing with VMware. They are allowing for flexibility across the hybrid cloud. This allows organizations to use containers and to be able to move into the public cloud, but also not have lock-in. They can come back to the private cloud when they want to, so it's creating a lot of flexibility across the stack."
"What I like the most in terms of features is the fact that the VxRail update can be done in one week. It takes much less time to do a whole server upgrade and an infrastructure update as well."
"The technical support from Dell was very good."
"It's a good product based on the features. You can upgrade the solution with only one click."
"Management of the hardware and software in one console is the most valuable feature. It's also compatible with vSAN."
"You don't need to think about compatibility of components."
"The implementation was quick, we used a checklist and it took approximately one hour."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"It would be useful if we could integrate our on-premise VM solution with the Azure workload backup from the existing console. This would assist our customers in reducing the cost of hardware."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"The solution is rather weak when it comes to database integration."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"I would like better integration with VCF from VMware, which is the Cloud Foundation tool set, so we can easily provision servers very quickly."
"In the version that I was working with, the integrations are in need of improvement."
"Obtaining support was hindered by the frequent changes to the hotline numbers."
"Its price could be better."
"The licensing needs to be improved upon."
"The solution should offer more integration with other virtual software. VxRail runs just with VMware, however, maybe it should integrate with Hyper-V or with KVM as well."
"I would like to have a unified platform where I, for example, can manage my 50 stores from a single portal in VxRail and be able to apply all the updates at once. I want to unify them into a centralized console."
"Lacks integration of licenses so that it's an expensive solution."
