Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It is very stable."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the backups."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"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."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
