Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."It provides us a good holistic view of everything that we have backed up so far. It also provides us all the recovery points. If we look at an an object that has been backed up, we can tell how many retention copies it has, how far we can go, and recover any data, if needed."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"Commvault's Command Center is one of the best solutions out there. You can rely on Commvault solutions for the most complex and most demanding environments."
"In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync."
"The recovery features are useful. It is easy to recover data. If something happens, we can easily recover data. We have faced ransomware issues twice, and we recovered because of Commvault."
"Restoring is very fast. In testing, I did a restore for a single item from a mailbox. Within a minute, I had the message back in my mailbox. So, it didn't take hours or days. Obviously, there will be a limit. If we suddenly go into DR and have to restore five terabytes of emails for people, then it will take a couple of days, which would be acceptable. For general usage, where we have to do the odd restore, we have never had issues. It happens within minutes."
"It has significantly reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our backup operations. We're going from an on-prem to a non-on-prem, we're all doing nonsolutions. So we really can't compare it against anything else."
"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."
"Veeam is very user-friendly and intuitive software."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"User-friendly data backup and protection solution for a Windows environment. The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is very scalable, stable, and has good compatibility and integration."
"Technical support is good. They're very responsive. It depends on the timezone responding, but I usually get a response within three hours of creating a ticket."
"Veeam helps to create a stable environment with virtual servers."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was very easy. Deployment only took about one hour with configuration and everything considered."
"I don't have any major problems with the agent connectivity with Microsoft applications or Microsoft Azure."
"It is a stable solution."
"There are two ways to use it and I prefer the web-based one over the app. I wish they were a little bit more matched in what they offer because the features aren't as available in the web-based interface as they are in the app."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."
"The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"Training."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
