Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"The product is very powerful and offers very good performance."
"It is one of the best solutions for backing up Oracle and other servers."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"The source site replication feature is valuable."
"The solution integrates well with Unix, Windows, Hyper-V and VM."
"The backup and recovery speed is very fast."
"Quick incremental backups and product replication are the two highlights of the product. Once you capture a full backup, incrementals are pretty quick. It is fairly efficient from that perspective."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The user interface is good."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"Avamar is dependent on the hardware. It can't be implemented with ordinary storage. It can only be implemented with an EMC product. We want to have a backup solution that allows us to use independent storage and other hardware. It would be good if they can simplify its technology and make it possible to implement it with another storage. This is probably not possible because Avamar is an EMC product, and EMC would like to sell its own products."
"It lacks support for certain plugins, like SAP HANA, for example."
"The solution, in the future, should offer support for mobile."
"The screen design is a bit back-dated."
"The management of this solution is a little bit difficult for IT administrators. They have to be trained before going through the system."
"Setup and deployment of this solution is complex and requires expert engineers."
"Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area."
"Its ability to back up very large objects can be improved. In terms of new features, they can include the ability to use cloud services, like S3, more natively."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"The integration needs improvement."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
