Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."
"One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support."
"It allows us to easily take a Snapshot and use it with any backup tools. We can also take Snapshots on the application side. We can also take Snapshots on the application side. If we want to restore an SAP or an Oracle machine, a normal Snapshot won't do it, but we can do so with SnapCenter."
"It has greatly improved our DR activity."
"The simplicity of backup and restore directly with VMware is an advantage and the time to backup and restore is reduced."
"Being able to add everything in as resource groups is a valuable feature... Having all the SQL servers put into specific buckets, based on their year of release - 2008, 2012, 2014 - allows us to get almost immediate backups that are easily seen and reported on."
"It's all together managing both storage and backup, which makes it easier for troubleshooting issues and the automation part of it"
"Restoring and cloning are easy to do."
"The product’s most valuable feature is cloning."
"The backup features are the most valuable because they allow the DBAs to replace SnapManager for Oracle (SMO), which is going away, and to do cloning as well. We can also clone to different servers and have the actual backup clone mounted on different servers. And we can split easily too."
"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."
"The interface and documentation need to improve."
"I want to see a few more features add that will help our team in managing solution better."
"What I did witness lately are issues with some Microsoft KBs, the updates. But it happened only once, and not on a major platform, it was on a small one."
"The UI, the User Interface, needs to be improved. It's not as clean or modern as it could be."
"Plugins should be developed in shorter times. Performance generally could be a little bit faster."
"The Microsoft environment is its biggest disadvantage due to the central management of all the actions. Because the SnapCenter server is where we deploy everything, it also affects the Microsoft environment, which can cause many difficulties when resolving issues like Windows update problems."
"We have hundreds of servers and systems and hundreds of customers and they're separated in a multi-tenancy way in NetApp SVM. Right now, the problem is that it always scan all SVMs. If I backup Customer A, it scans all SVMs, or tries to scan all SVMs, if there is a backup relationship on the storage. But it doesn't have the permissions, so we run into timeouts or the backup just takes too long. They're fixing that in the upcoming release..."
"The documentation could be a little bit better so that we could handle more of the troubleshooting ourselves, rather than having to go through support."
"Some of the minor functionalities from SnapManager did not transfer over to SnapCenter. These should be added in future releases."
