Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"We sell Avamar with Data Domain. Data Domain and Avamar work really well together and their compression ratios are very high compared to Veeam, Commvault, and all the other backup software on the market."
"The tool's most valuable features are backup management and speed."
"The product has a proven track record of good backups without much of a failure ratio. It also has a good backup in terms of the compression ratio."
"Dell Avamar has helped our organization by allowing us to do backups."
"The data reduction feature and the ease of enabling a server in a DR location are the most valuable."
"The setup is very easy."
"They are extremely reliable and scalable — they provide the best de-duplication on the market."
"This solution is stable."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."
"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 intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It's not as good as it could be."
"The UI is quite old. We've been using this UI since last year, and they haven't changed it. It would be better to update the UI periodically and create attractive dashboards from an administrative point of view."
"The interface could be more helpful for people."
"The solution is not very strong on the Cloud. They should work out how they can use this as a backup as a service."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."
"It's very slow to backup and store information. It has two consoles and an application which are more difficult to use than a solution like Veeam."
"Setup and deployment of this solution is complex and requires expert engineers."
"Technical support should be more knowledgeable."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Stability."
"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."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
