Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"This solution is stable."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"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."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"It is scalable."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"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."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"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."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"It could use deduplication features."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"The integration needs improvement."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
