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."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows's most useful features is the ease of use and user-friendly."
"We found the initial setup to be quite simple."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a VMware environment."
"It is a stable solution."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
"If you have windows machine at home and you'd like a backup, you can always download their free edition and plug in an external hard disk, and do a full backup of your laptop."
"This is a good product with a simple environment."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover."
"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."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
"The backups can go slow."
"Updating and configuration can sometimes be a little bit of a hassel, but once you know the product better it is easy to use."
"The solution's compression ratio and high speed for backing up can always improve. Aspects that need improvement are less time, better quality, higher security, and more compression. These are continuous requirements for any customer."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"The compression ratio and application ratio could still be improved in this solution. Reporting could also be improved, for better monitoring."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
