Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."I get my reports. It is generally very reliable. Unless there is a major change, it doesn't stop backing up. I've got my server room set up with everything connected to the same power, and I never have power issues or failures of backups because a sub-site has gone off."
"I have found that the backups are usually very successful."
"The most valuable features of BackupAssist are ease of use, configure is simple, and more importantly, ease of recovery. If you needed to do a complete system recovery or another recovery it is straightforward."
"We can configure the notifications themselves so that the right people get the notifications. This is very helpful. It allows key stakeholders to know if backups have happened and to remind each other to check the backups if something is not right."
"The support for legacy products is very good."
"The software implementation takes about 30 minutes."
"The possibility of recovering up-to-the-moment data is very useful."
"It's easy to use."
"The full backup is a great feature. Restoration is also good and very quick."
"The most valuable features for us at the moment are NFS, file system backup, and IP backup."
"It can support many different versions, both newer and older."
"I like that it's stable and scalable."
"Many solutions become stagnant over time. However, BackupAssist has been consistent in updates but they must continue to innovate and improve to avoid stagnation."
"The solution needs a dashboard or some form of central control from which you can manage all backups."
"Many solutions become stagnant over time. However, BackupAssist has been consistent in updates but they must continue to innovate and improve to avoid stagnation."
"It stopped doing my backups after I did the last update on it."
"In the future I would like to see more support for Linux."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The solution could be graphically better."
"The front end of the solution could improve. The user-friendliness is lacking."
"Its console UI should be better. It should also have more out-of-the-box reporting functionalities. It should also have easier cloud integration. They have got cloud boost and things like that, but if you want to directly back up to the cloud, I'm not too sure whether you can do it. For example, you can easily send data from Commvault to AWS, Azure, or a container, but it seems to be not so easy in NetWorker."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
"The implementation process could be improved."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"It's not easy to integrate. We have to read a lot of documentation in order to configure the solution."
