Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"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."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"One of the best things about Veeam is that they have consistently improved on themselves since they started. Personally, I've been using Veeam since around 2013/2014 when it was only supporting certain hypervisors such as HyperV, and since then it has become truly mature enterprise-level software with a lot of versatility."
"It has an intuitive interface, and it provides us with successful backups without needing to tweak or do any adjusting. We just set it up and like their ad says, "It Just Works.""
"The most valuable feature of Zerto for us is its DR capability."
"Consistency Groups: If you replicate groups of VMs, then during failover, all of the VMs in groups are failed over to the exact same point in time."
"The time it takes to fail a server over to DR has been great."
"When we use our VMware environment, sometimes the HP hardware is not compatible, and we start to lose data. I like that we can restore our whole application and public-facing system through Zerto."
"It works really well. It's simple to set up and works well. Moreover, disaster recovery to the cloud to our organization is very important. We actually had to use it three years ago, and it worked out well for us."
"The most valuable for us and for my company is that we are replicating most of our production customers to the DR site, and we can do testing whenever we want."
"Since we are at a bank, there are certain protocols in place where we need to have RPO and RTO times of two hours or less. Zerto does a great job of setting those times and alerting us if those can't be met. We have our help desk actively monitoring that. It is extremely helpful that Zerto lists what is falling out of compliance in regards to RPO and RTO. It has been great in that regard."
"In our DR testing, Zerto allows us to go work on other things while it takes care of everything. That's valuable because we know that we can still hit all of our SLAs in a real disaster."
"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."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"Integration with other equipment could be improved."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature."
"When you want to restore files, you first need to restore the machine, and then you have to mount it, and then restore the files."
"The onset of configuring an environment in the cloud is difficult and could be easier to do."
"Zerto could improve its reporting capabilities."
"Zerto is too reliant on VMware's vCenter. It's tough to upgrade, move, or do anything related to virtual servers with vCenter."
"The backup functions are in need of improvement."
"It needs to support more public cloud."
"If there is a mass of changes to a server, Zerto will restart the replication. It would be nice to know why that happens."
"I would like to see some improvements with APIs going into the cloud so that they can more natively orchestrate the migration point-to-point without special hands-on configuration. Azure does some of that natively by having an agent on the VM, but Zerto could improve on its APIs into Azure or Google so that spinning up works more natively in that environment. It would make things smoother."
"Zerto generates many false positive alerts, which is annoying. I still have thousands of alerts in my inbox, and those are false alerts. When I check there's actually no problem."
