Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."
"Quick incremental backups and product replication are the two highlights of the product. Once you capture a full backup, incrementals are pretty quick. It is fairly efficient from that perspective."
"Client deduplication."
"The most valuable features are scalability and integration."
"Dell EMC Avamar is easy to work with and is user-friendly."
"Centralization is Avamar's biggest advantage. It moves data to a central location from various geographical locations."

"The solution integrates well with Unix, Windows, Hyper-V and VM."
"The setup is very easy."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."

"The configuration and expansion aspects of the solution need improvement. They're complicated and don't really integrate well."
"Interfaces need to be improved."
"If there is a need to move the data from one backup solution to another, it might be difficult since there is no option for a straightforward migration."
