Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"The most valuable feature is that it's a VMware environment."
"The installation of Veeam Agent is straightforward."
"This is a reliable system that supports Veeam backup and recovery for Windows."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"It is good and easy to use for backing up physical servers. It is working fine, and it is stable and scalable."
"The product is free to use. We don't have to pay for a license."
"I like working on the Azure platform."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
"Its automation and the ability to replicate and keep an RTO of just seconds is valuable. It is all automatic. Everything is pretty transparent on the backend. It is just point-and-go."
"Failover using Zerto is simply a one-button click, and it does everything else in restoring the VMs at a different datacenter (recovery site)."
"It reduced the time for DR tests from the infrastructure side. Being able to get our work done in a matter of a couple of minutes so the app teams can get to work and can do their testing has been significant."
"You can set the number of days a VM can be rolled back in case of corruption or virus infection."
"Its ease of use is most valuable. The online documentation is very clear and helpful. We are able to solve a lot of problems on our own without having to contact support."
"The most valuable features are the continuous streaming, that it takes very little CPU usage — it doesn't affect production — and the recovery time is very short."
"The ability to test which virtual machines can be failed over to our DR site without interruption of our production environment."
"We have seen ROI. It reduced the time for failover and failback by 90%."
"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement."
"An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"I would like to have a more automated installation process."
"The solution lacks instant recovery."
"It fulfills our needs in terms of features. In terms of improvements, they can maybe improve its documentation."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support I received when I had an issue."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
"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 had a situation where we had to relicense VMs once they were moved over. We later found out that that feature is built-in, but it's not easy to find. The way it's done is that you have to go to the target site to turn it on. If that were explained a little bit better up front, that would be helpful."
"In future releases, doing backups of the environment we need to be able to do hot backups of the database."
"We'd like to be able to migrate data without its operating system or any other functionality and without having to go through a virtual machine or server."
"Zerto's effect on our RPO can be improved."
"The biggest pain points we have experienced are related to some of the SQL-intensive workloads just because the VPGs struggle a little bit to keep up. That might be because we are pushing too many transactions."
"Customer service and technical support need improvement."
"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."
