Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the backups."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"Stability."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
