Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The initial setup was very easy."
"You can select the tiering for your backup and manage your cost."
"The MARS agent makes it easy to use."
"It is easy to schedule backups."
"One of the most valuable features is security and connectivity to the data."
"It is a stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"With Azure Backup, you can readily make your environment if your setup somehow fails on the cloud or on-premises."
"Our client’s infrastructure is protected by the tool."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"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 initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The product must improve on a database level."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"I believe more options could be available to understand better what's happening in the system. Additionally, automating the client updates and connector updates would be beneficial. Updating the connector from time to time can be challenging, and it could be made more transparent and straightforward for users. Moreover, another drawback lies in the time it takes to test full data backup recovery. Deploying a full recovery takes longer. We need to allocate a longer period for complete data recovery to establish the environment again."
"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"The only thing I would say that could be improved is the reporting."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Stability."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
