Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"They have great support."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"No appliance update notifications."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
