Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."
"Replication without network changes."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."
"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The ability to test which virtual machines can be failed over to our DR site without interruption of our production environment."
"I like the granularity of the checkpoints."
"It helps us keep our required retention period for specific documents and allows us to recover older documents if we have to compare and recreate those."
"During a failover to a DR site, Zerto can automatically change the IP address of servers."
"The replication works really well. We perform multiple tests a month and annual tests for our tier-one and many of our tier-two apps... Migrating systems as a failover rollback or a system move are two of the functions that I like the most."
"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."
"The live failover tests and point-in-time recovery options have been exceptionally valuable features of Zerto for our organization."
"We've never had any major headaches with the virtual-protection groups. They seem to work exactly as they should. If there's ever an issue with replication, we know right away, so it's all been very reliable."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"It would be nice to have the option to do automatic failover, but right now the only option is manual."
"I would like Zerto to provide more detailed information when there is an issue."
"I don't feel like we're a big enough customer to warrant being called every week or every month but it would be good to get a little bit more contact with a salesperson or engineer group."
"My only business complaint is the cost of the solution. I feel like the cost could be a tad lower, but we are willing to pay extra to get the Premium service."
"I don't have any input for improvement or a critical feature request at this moment. If anything, a lower price is always better."
"The email alerts can be excessive, so better control over frequency or resolution may be a worthwhile improvement."
"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."
"The syncing of the replication needs improvement. My experience has been that, every once in a while, when you go to do a failover, it tells you it's not syncing. Then you have to troubleshoot and figure out why it's not fully synced up."
