Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks. Rubrik is a very nice, very good solution because it is able to protect your data and you have the possibility from the backup to detect any abnormal behavior, like a ransomware attack. You are able to detect and restore very easily with this solution. This is a major differentiator in comparison to the other competitors."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"It is good and easy to use for backing up physical servers. It is working fine, and it is stable and scalable."
"Veeam is very user-friendly and intuitive software."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows are the backups, ease of use, and report manager."
"This is a good product with a simple environment."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"The initial setup, if it is error-free, is very simple."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"The interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"Compression is the most valuable feature."
"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 allows for versatile storage options, enabling users to store data on disk storage, NAS storage, or tape libraries."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated. It is not something that helps the DBA, the Database Administrator, but it should be done by the backup person like many other solutions. Everything is ready for the DBA to recover the database. It is a way of doing things, but I don't think you should give the backup people the ability to do it."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"If you are doing an AIX backup then you have to use the CLI because it doesn't appear on the console, the way that Windows and Linux jobs do."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"A lower price would always be beneficial."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"It could be improved in the area of reporting and ease-of-use."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
"It doesn't support the AIX platform."
