Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"This is a stable solution."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"It is good and easy to use for backing up physical servers. It is working fine, and it is stable and scalable."
"I don't have any major problems with the agent connectivity with Microsoft applications or Microsoft Azure."
"A full-featured option for managing virtual machines with an instant recovery feature."
"The installation of Veeam Agent is straightforward."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was very easy. Deployment only took about one hour with configuration and everything considered."
"The initial setup, if it is error-free, is very simple."
"Solution provides good security."
"I like working on the Azure platform."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"The solution lacks instant recovery."
"I would like to see the ability for incremental backups and reverse backups."
"An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing."
"The backups can go slow."
"Updating and configuration can sometimes be a little bit of a hassel, but once you know the product better it is easy to use."
"The solution's compression ratio and high speed for backing up can always improve. Aspects that need improvement are less time, better quality, higher security, and more compression. These are continuous requirements for any customer."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
