Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The installation of the solution is easy."
"The solution is very stable."
"The backup is the solution's most valuable feature. It's very reliable."
"The performance of Dell EMC Avamar is good."
"We sell Avamar with Data Domain. Data Domain and Avamar work really well together and their compression ratios are very high compared to Veeam, Commvault, and all the other backup software on the market."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"The product is very powerful and offers very good performance."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual backup."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"It is scalable."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The technical support is good."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
"The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well."
"The reporting should be improved, as we currently have to use another tool for that purpose."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The initial setup is a bit complex and could be simpler."
"Avamar is still competitive because of the way we have deployed it, but we need to diversify and shift away from specific technologies. In addition to hypervisors, virtual machines, and bare metal servers, our customers need protection for Microsoft 365, SaaS, and the public cloud, so we need other technologies in the business to cater to those customers' needs. Those are the enhancements we would want from the Avamar platform, but that's not likely to happen. Dell has PowerProtect and Apex backup services. There are other Dell solutions that we'll use to fulfill our customers' requirements."
"The screen design is a bit back-dated."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"Technical support could be improved."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"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."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
