Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"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 product's deployment process was straightforward."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"The user interface is good. It provides a lot of information."
"It's powerful and user-friendly."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"It is good and easy to use for backing up physical servers. It is working fine, and it is stable and scalable."
"A full-featured option for managing virtual machines with an instant recovery feature."
"I don't have any major problems with the agent connectivity with Microsoft applications or Microsoft Azure."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"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."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"I would like to have a more automated installation process."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"I would like there to be more integration with other platforms."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
"If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
