Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"The initial setup was complex."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
