Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"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 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."
"This is a stable solution."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"It is good and easy to use for backing up physical servers. It is working fine, and it is stable and scalable."
"To do the actual backup configuration is also not too bad."
"Application awareness is very good and the speed of this solution is good."
"Technical support is good."
"We found the initial setup to be quite simple."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved."
"This is a reliable system that supports Veeam backup and recovery for Windows."
"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."
"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."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"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."
"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."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation of third party applications added( Like installing WinRar MS Office etc..) , and Firewall for servers."
"A lower price would always be beneficial."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
