Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It's very stable."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"The solution has the fastest backup and better licensing."
"It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."
"The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage. It has wide coverage to back up every data center environment. The product can back up OpenStack, OpenShift, and competitive solutions don't have this feature. Commvault can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"Global deduplication and the indexing of the data object are the most valuable features. It saves costs on the product side by doing compression and deduplication. It will help you and make your life easy to reach the data that you need within the minimum downtime when it's required."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"The solution is mostly stable."
"The scalability of IBM Spectrum Protect is good."
"Reliability: It has never had a problem with backups or restores. If you store something, it is there."
"The feature we have found most valuable is when you want to integrate it with a Tape Library and then do the DRM life cycle. That is when it works the best."
"The D2D2T archive of my PACS data improved after I put Spectrum Protect 8.1.4 into production."
"They have recently added support tickets specifically engineered around performance. This has been very useful for us when we run into issues where customers are looking to try to squeeze a lot more horsepower out of older system."
"For initial setup, we started with the blueprints, which were great. The blueprints allowed us to be able to decide if we needed to use small, medium,k or large. Because we are a large environment, we used a large blueprint. Once we followed everything in the blueprint, it was a smooth transition from there."
"We do not lose data. That is why we are using this product and have a backup in place."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"Veritas is good for small environments."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"It is a scalable product."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"For us, the main two features that we appreciate in this application are backup and restore. They are the main purposes for which we are using this application."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."
"They can improve the security level for Windows. When mapping to the Windows, Commvault can take full control over data volumes so that the attacker can't delete the volume data, but the Windows admin can access the volumes. It would be great to block access at that level."
"When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"They need to improve when it comes to large, video file archiving. They're good, but they have not met my expectations as a customer in this area."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"It would be a bit unfair to say that it's complex, due to the fact that it supports so many different workloads, however, if there's anything that is a bit of a shortcoming, then it's the fact that there's a bit of complexity involved when dealing with the product."
"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
"I would like to advance reporting and analytics for the platform to see how much data is coming into the platform. how much data is expiring everyday, and what tape savings we are getting through reclamation."
"I need to have more than two instances working together. I need a worldwide grid able to have replication between three, four, or five instances."
"There could be various client systems and process integration included in the product."
"The software is very complicated. You have to do a lot of configurations to build a server, and you would need to backup and restore."
"I find the Level 1 and Level 2 support spend 80% of the time communicating the same information that I have already provided."
"This product should be more user-friendly for newcomers."
"Their support is lacking. I've talked to their developers and stuff in the last couple of weeks and they reassure me that some people have retired, and they're working on getting that bumped back up. But the support lacks a lot to be desired at this point."
"The solution must protect against ransomware attacks better."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"In terms of improvements, I think the pricing model could be improved. They charge you by port, for every port that you have even if you're not using all of them."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"The console of Veritas Backup Exec is complex when compared to other software."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"Enhanced support for cloud backup needs to be added."
