Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"What I find valuable is restoring the complete server. Restoring files is also valuable, but I like restoring the server because you don't have to rebuild a new one."
"In terms of the speed of backup, it operates seamlessly, so I'd rate it as excellent... with my daily use and workload, quite honestly I don't even notice when it backs up."
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"The product is a bit complex."
"I need documentation for Azure backups. One expectation that I have is regarding PDF documentation. When I was trying to browse the documentation, I could not locate that."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"I would like them to keep working on the new web interface to migrate out of the old interface because the old interface is a bit complex. It was driving customers away because of the complexity. If they migrate everything (100 percent of the features), this would make the product be perfect."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"Could be easier to implement."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
