Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution is very stable. It is one of the most important features that we look for in a product before putting it into the market and when establishing a strategy with our customers."
"It helps our customers protect their data, especially with stuff like ransomware, compliance, and regulatory requirements."
"The MN backup for a cluster is most valuable because it has made backing up the GSF as a zero-file system easier. I like its stability a lot. Over the years, I very rarely had a problem with it."
"Every time we go and try to get a file, we can get it. Restores are quick and the data is always there."
"The feature we have found most valuable is when you want to integrate it with a Tape Library and then do the DRM life cycle. That is when it works the best."
"Regarding technical support, if one has the entire enterprise support, I would rate it a nine out of ten...Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is its ability to verify the recoverability of backups."
"We have better, faster backup times, and it has improved efficiency in the backups."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"Restoring massive files is a very time-consuming process."
"They are behind on many things, especially security. They are catching up a little bit now, but the competitors are doing better security-wise. There should be malware detection and prevention and higher security."
"It's difficult in terms of the configuration at set up. In our case, it required another admin, one person dedicated to the backup."
"Replication of data could be more user friendly."
"We need better protection from ransomware or the ability to identify ways we can protect ourselves from ransomware. Having backups is one thing, but specifically, we need methods to recover if we have a ransomware attack."
"Needs more support for non-mainstream databases, in particular PostgreSQL, SQL, and MySQL."
"Replication services would be nice. If these could be enhanced to be always on so multiple storage backup services could be added as a cluster pool. This would provide a better availability service."
"It needs better connectivity with other non-IBM application hardware and non-IBM platforms."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"The integration needs improvement."
"It could use deduplication features."
"Technical support could be improved."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
