Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"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."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"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."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"This solution is stable."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"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."
"Stability."
"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."
