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."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"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 deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"This is a stable solution."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"The technical support is good."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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 only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"It's simple to use."
"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."
"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."
"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 functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."

"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"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."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
