Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."If it's set up the right way, it's a stable product."
"The interface is user-friendly and can be used by the end-users."
"The solution is very user-friendly. After setting up five machines for our customers we teach them how to set up the agent and start doing their backups. It is very easy for them once they see how to do it, they like to do it on their own."
"Anybody could drive the GUI."
"The software implementation takes about 30 minutes."
"It's easy to use."
"Dell's technical support are quite helpful with straightforward issues."
"NetWorker has very good scalability."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"Quick recovery."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"Deduplication and compression are in a good ratio. It supports the HPE Catalyst protocol, which is much faster than NFS and other protocols. We use CommVault and Veeam, and these two solutions support the Catalyst protocol very well and are integrated at high speed. It is faster than normal access."
"The user interface has to be improved"
"They need to be compatible with the cloud because EMC NetWorker cannot compete with other products at the moment. EMC focuses only on their own cloud and do not take into consideration other cloud vendors."
"The user interface of this solution could be improved. It is not user friendly and is difficult to understand for new users. New users struggle to understand the logic."
"Support is definitely an area of concern because of the time it takes to resolve our issues."
"The licensing rules are difficult to navigate and understand."
"The front end of the solution could improve. The user-friendliness is lacking."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The process of upgrading versions should be improved because as it is now, you have to completely uninstall the old version first, and then install the new version."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
