Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"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."
"It is scalable."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The user interface is good."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"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."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
