Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The product is very powerful and offers very good performance."
"Dell EMC Avamar has many valuable features. It's very stable and it's easy to manage."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The stability is okay."
"The product is good for backups."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Data Domain and your VM stacks."
"Dell Avamar has helped our organization by allowing us to do backups."
"The setup is very easy."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The technical support is good."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"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."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The interface could be more helpful for people."
"It's very slow to backup and store information. It has two consoles and an application which are more difficult to use than a solution like Veeam."
"When we used the solution, it was still new, and so the customer service/technical support was not the best."
"Setup and deployment of this solution is complex and requires expert engineers."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"Dell EMC Avamar is a very complex product. It took a lot of time for the IT admins to get trained on how to use it. It is not very user-friendly, and we won't be using Avamar anymore. It needs a lot of improvement in terms of how the backups have been configured, and the reporting is too complex."
"It would be better if we could integrate easily with other platforms."
"Setting up Avamar wasn't so easy, and we had a partner doing the installation for us. Though it was hard at first, it's getting better. The main difficulty was finding plugins for Oracle Database. It took some time to open a ticket with Dell, but everything was fine after that."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"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."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"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."
