Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The documentation is very good. It's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"One thing we like about the product is that it's good and not as expensive as similar products. Right now, there are different ways to back up your information—you can back up directly to a disk or the cloud. It allows you to have various kinds of repositories."
"The most valuable feature is how reliable Veeam Backup is. It has the normal expected features that allow you to ensure that everything is backed up completely."
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration."
"The direct SAN backup feature perfectly integrates with our 3PAR storage infrastructure."
"A valuable feature of the solution is that it allows everything to be integrated into a single model, comprised of hardware and software."
"With VxRail, we can manage the life cycle of a virtual machine."
"The implementation was quick, we used a checklist and it took approximately one hour."
"The most valuable feature in the VxRail solution is the software that binds the management portal and its ease of use of managing the environment. The guys don't have to worry about getting multiple solutions specialist. You can have one person looking at and managing the whole environment."
"We like the design and that it meets data storage needs."
"The technical support is very helpful and answers questions whenever we have issues with the product."
"Enterprise is a complete solution that includes performance, backups and disaster recovery."
"The solution is really stable."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
"Immutability could be improved."
"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."
"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."
"My customers want more storage for university databases."
"I would like to see Dell take a crack at simplifying the process of moving from a node to a cluster and assembling everything into the appliance. It would be great if Dell could provide a pathway where a customer could actually install it without the certifications. Of course, I can't say how you would dumb down something so complex."
"I would like to see integration with vCenter if possible."
"The support protocols have changed after Broadcom acquired VMware."
"Some of the features of the hyperconverged infrastructure could be integrated with external storage. Right now, for example, if I have surveillance going, I need to purchase very cheap storage. So, an integration between the hyperconverged infrastructure and external storage would be good."
"If we could have some out of the box ideas in integration, I think that would be a great feature."
"I would prefer it if each cell had a tool geared toward billing clients."
"A disadvantage is that the initial first deployment can be complicated."
