Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Disaster Recovery (DR) Software."The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Stability."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
