Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The local mount utility is most valuable. I do restores fairly regularly. Thankfully, I have not ever lost an entire server that I've had to resurrect, but I certainly have people who erroneously saved over a file or have deleted a file. So, we've done that quite a bit. We still have the DL4000 appliance, and we had, kind of, extrapolated that out over a five-year period. Now, we're in year six, so we had to add storage, which we did as a SAN next to DL4000, but prior to adding in that extra storage, we, here and there, would run into situations where for whatever reason, it would want to be pulling a new base image, and then we would run out of storage. So, we would utilize the archive feature and archive the old data that we want to hang on to, but we don't necessarily need it taking up current data storage. Being able to export out really old data is most valuable to us. Then, we just store that on a NAS that we keep in another building."
"Definitely, the mount and recovery points are the most valuable, because if someone deletes a file or something, or if something gets corrupted, we can always revert back to an old change because our repository goes about a month back. The ability to roll back files and the ability to roll back servers is really important."
"The compression and deduplication features have helped to save on storage costs."
"The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"Not having to switch tapes is wonderful. It makes it so easy. We have an on-prem deployment that we also replicate to an offsite replication host. So by not having to deal with tapes and moving them off-site every day and every week, that's amazing ease of use for us."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to back up a physical server to another physical or virtual server."
"The most valuable feature of Quest Rapid Recovery for our organization is the VM recovery functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the disaster recovery process from the data center."
"The installation of Veeam Agent is straightforward."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"A full-featured option for managing virtual machines with an instant recovery feature."
"Application awareness is very good and the speed of this solution is good."
"To do the actual backup configuration is also not too bad."
"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."
"Veeam helps to create a stable environment with virtual servers."
"For the most part, it is really good in terms of flexibility and choice of recovery methods. What we found lacking was being able to back up virtual volumes that are clustered. We ran out of luck there. There should be an option for backing up clustered virtual volumes."
"I think the self-paced learning and knowledge base can always be improved so that users can self-service without having to contact either a reseller or Quest. I know there are things that I would have been looking for to try and solve. And the only way I could get there was to actually open a ticket rather than go through self-service through the portal."
"It's buggy. That's a big problem. We're arranging to get rid of it. We're going to switch to Veeam."
"It is quite surprising to me that the configuration cannot be backed up automatically, and I think that Rapid Recovery should have an option for scheduled configuration backup."
"Rapid Recovery can only backup the machine or disc, but it can't back up from folders, and files, and things like that."
"The on-premises deployment model shouldn't have a maintenance fee. If there's going to be technical support, they need it to be free or it should be paid on upon adopting the solution."
"I don't really think that there is a whole lot that needs to be changed. It would be nice if you could deploy the agent without having to reboot. When I upgraded my core to the latest version, I also wanted to update all of my servers, but I had to put that off because I can't just shoot it out there. I have to make sure it is at a time when I can do a reboot right away."
"There could be better space management for incremental data. When you use incremental data, the space in the appliance keeps on going up. There should be a better way to manage the space. You have to manage the incremental data to reduce the time."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"I would like there to be more integration with other platforms."
"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 price of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows could improve."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"I would like to have more flexibility in terms of reporting details about the backup."
"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."
