Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Bacula is pretty stable."
"It brought many advantages - such as the learning curve being very light."
"The solution has extensive documentation and a very active community."
"It is easy to scale Bacula Enterprise even if your system is growing tremendously in data and servers."
"The most valuable features are the special plugins such as SAP HANA databases, Microsoft SQL, and various types of virtualization."
"It can be used in virtually any environment we have onsite."
"It works great and it provides you with several standard tools to restore your backup, even after a big failure."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform with more features than its competitors."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"It runs all the tests and emails us the reports. We take daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots, and I integrate the storage snapshot scripts with the Commvault workflow. The Commvault workflow runs all the scripts and sends us the reports. It also features cloud-side reports and workflows. Commvault has many tools for backing up, restoring, and archiving things, but we use another service for our archives."
"The most valuable feature is sharing data sets like they're in a private cloud. We call it our "private cloud" because we can share anything that is inside our backup set with our colleagues or with other people, and yet, everything is still in Belgrade, in Serbia. It's not somewhere else on cloud servers. Everything is in our environment."
"All workloads can be integrated with Commvault. If we use a new technology, Commvault integrates with it. Commvault is a data management solution with support for building the DR side of things. With Commvault we can rapidly back up and restore any application we add to our environment."
"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed."
"Bacula needs a graphical user interface because, for administrators, the command-line interface is okay, but for the average user it is not very easy."
"Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement."
"We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI."
"We are looking for a unique interface that can rule both enterprise and open source editions. Such a thing does not yet exist."
"The functional integration could be better."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."
"I need documentation for Azure backups. One expectation that I have is regarding PDF documentation. When I was trying to browse the documentation, I could not locate that."
"I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
