Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."They have just implemented a Backup and Restore portal that we think is very good."
"iland is excellent as far as the interface."
"The service itself wasn't bad."
"The near-synchronous replication is one of the primary reasons we're using Zerto because we have recovery intervals of sub-five seconds. On a scale of 10, where 10 is "very important", this feature is a 10."
"We have had many instances where VMs were corrupted by an application owner, where they were installing something and did not create a snapshot in VMware for it. Instead of tapping into our backups, with just two clicks, we were able to restore the VM back to its original state. It helps a lot in the day-to-day running of our business."
"Real-time replication is a valuable feature, ensuring that changes made to the production site are immediately reflected at the recovery site."
"Zerto's ability to test failovers with a record of how long it takes to fail the motor is beneficial, as it allows us to know the timing in the event we have to do it live."
"Using Zerto, you can have your VM up and running in a matter of minutes. All you need to do is flip a switch, then you are good to go."
"The most valuable features of this solution is the ease of use. In the event of a disaster, you don't need a technical person to actually run the software. You can bring anybody in, with the right instructions and credentials, and they can run the solution."
"It has enabled DR protection for virtual appliances with minimal administrator time."
"For most use cases, the failover time is a handful of minutes, if that. A single user can run the system."
"I would like to see a better method of backing up Exchange in the cloud."
"They don't support a more current version of VMware."
"The vendor needs to changes billing to work like every other business and stop charging people if they stop using your service."
"For special situations, there are options within advanced settings. You don't have to dig too far for them, but they're not quite as straightforward."
"An area for improvement is the support because it gets really expensive. They need to make it a little cheaper. Support also takes time."
"Zerto needs to improve its support for VMware Lifecycle Manager."
"The improvement that I would like to see is a little bit easier product knowledge, things like that. It's getting a lot better than it was before because it's not as old of a product as Cisco, but if you look for something like Cisco routing and networking, you'll find millions of articles out there and it's everywhere."
"We would like the LTR function to be able to retain the past 12 months."
"It would be nice to have the option to do automatic failover, but right now the only option is manual."
"We're an NSX-T shop, and if I could get an NSX-T integration where it could manage the networks a little tighter, that would be an improvement."
"You can create a VPG and put anywhere from one to 17 servers in that group. We build them one by one. If something changes in VMware, it would be nice to be able to go in and change that VPG, having it update without messing up. When you change them now, it only applies to the copies from the points when you changed it. I wish it would purge that older data from the past. Right now, we have to build a new VPG, which is not a big deal as it is just a few screens."
