Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"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."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"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."
"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 is the trouble-free operation, as we have not had many problems with it."
"The most valuable feature is that it is basically a replica of our SAND data. We archive the SAND data for recovery, if there is an issue on the fence."
"This product is flexible enough to allow for backing up data from physical machines, as well as from your cloud environment."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
"Veritas released a new feature in version 8 of NetBackup called VRP. It's kind of like replication management from VMware. The great thing about this feature is that Veritas gave it to us for free."
"We were able to witness the benefits of using the solution within weeks of using it."
"The solution offers a lot of really great features that organizations can utilize and take advantage of."
"The documentation is good."
"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."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"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."
"Stability."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"I also think they could improve the reporting. They use a web-based software application OpsCenter for the reporting and I see that they haven't made any changes in years."
"NetBackup is expensive and should be cheaper. That is why we are moving on to another solution."
"They need to work on the GUI. It has been the same for the last 10 years."
"I think reporting can always be improved."
"The most common problem is the backup failures over the weekend. We have to troubleshoot and sometimes do restores and then we have trouble doing some of the restores."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"It is not very user-friendly."
"We faced so many backup configuration issues. And from the Veritas side, they couldn't fix that issue. So we started from scratch, purchased everything, and then we configured everything. Therefore, the support could be better."
