Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It's simple to set up."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"I like the tool's speed."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"This solution is stable."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Stability."
"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
