Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"This solution is stable."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"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."
"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."
"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 ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"Replication is most valuable."
"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"Initially setting up the product is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
"They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"Stability."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"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."
"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."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature."
"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."
"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
