Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The most valuable features are the disaster recovery and testing."
"Its capability to schedule, write and configure the recovery and scheduled steps, such that you don't have to come in and start manually trying to recover the entire machine. You just push a button to recover the VMware and everything is done."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that you can independently run the disaster recovery without disturbing the production instances."
"The stability of SRM has been excellent. It gets a nine-out-of-ten."
"It eliminates the need for complex compliance requirements, making it a highly effective solution."
"The simplicity of VMware SRM is one of its most important features. SRM console is straightforward to manage. It offers simplicity in monitoring, managing, and deploying, making it a unique value proposition. Additionally, Nutanix solutions also provide a simple GUI, which helps in operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Nutanix environment."
"The solution is simple to use and has effective automation."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"It does not delete locked files."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"We've had configuration issues on occasion. We start to fail over, and then we have to call it off because the configuration is not right, or the data stores aren't configured correctly in the secondary data center. Oftentimes, it is just the experience level of the team, and we have to bring in the vendor to help and validate our configuration."
"They could enhance the automation features for the product."
"One thing which is lacking from the SRM is reporting."
"The price, in general, could be lower."
"Lacks stability and as a result requires continuous monitoring."
"SRM has to be installed on two separate data centers, so both have to be coordinated very well, which becomes complicated when configuring the software for disaster recovery."
"There is room for improvement in the automation and orchestration aspects of this solution."
"There needs to be better stability during heavy capacity in future releases."
