Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The command-line interface is good."
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."
"The solution is highly stable."
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"It's simple to use."
"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."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
"It could use deduplication features."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The integration needs improvement."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"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."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"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."
