Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Commvault integrates well with all types of operating systems and supports heterogeneous environments."
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"It is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."
"The most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well. It also provides consistent recovery processes. Whenever we have needed to do a restore, it has worked quickly and efficiently."
"The solution's stability is excellent."
"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."
"This solution is stable."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Training."
"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."
"Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"We do not use Command Center, but we are using CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using CommCell Console rather than Command Center."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
