Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."We invest in the backup so the continuity of the data is not affected."
"The Vembu BDR product is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The ability to map a drive and restore a separate file is most valuable. The restoration activity is good."
"It made it easy for us to handle the daily backup of endpoints."
"Their support is great. I think they work 24 hours a day. I get a very quick turnaround time from them no matter the day or time that I send them an email."
"The most useful feature is that you can back up the virtual machines in different ways. You can back up from a vhost, and you can also back up from a Windows server. It doesn't matter what type of infrastructure or hypervisor is there. It's very flexible, which is its most useful feature for us."
"The most important features are the backup and the availability of the Universal Explorer. The in-transit compression is great."
"The most valuable features for me are that I can back up the entire virtual machine, but when restoring I can restore at the file level."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"I like that Zerto is easy to move and that there is no effect on the user. That is, the user doesn't even know it. We're in the healthcare industry and work for a hospital. We can set up a server in no time whatsoever. It's easy for us to schedule the time because it takes only about one minute."
"The most important features are the simplicity of recovery and the wider capabilities and feature sets than VMware SRM has."
"The ease of use and simplicity in moving things without having to do a cross-v set of V-motions has been most valuable. It saves time and effort and it eliminates mistakes."
"It gives us a seamless, performant data center migration. When we were migrating between physical data centers, we did what normally would have been a 72-hour job in about 18 hours. A large part of that was thanks to Zerto being able to rate limit and throttle how much data was being sent or transfers were happening. Being able to script around it and create governors was important. We didn't have that previously. That is one big use case that has saved an immense amount of time and effort."
"VMware VM replication over narrow WAN bandwidth."
"The way we can use checkpoints from each VM to restore them is an excellent feature, and the replication is great."
"It's one of the easiest products out there, as far as managing and using it go. The UI is pretty dead simple."
"Our RPOs and RTOs are now more in line with our other critical systems."
"We had a lot of problems getting it configured in the first place. They also wanted us to allow them remote access to our machines without us watching what they're doing, which is a huge security risk for us. We said we couldn't do that, and they said they don't offer any phone support whatsoever."
"We are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time."
"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."
"It would be a great improvement if they can give a console to control the systems. All other vendors let you simply log in to the cloud console and control everything from there, but for Vembu, whether you choose Vembu Cloud Backup or Vembu Disaster Recovery, you still need to install the Vembu software on your on-premise system and configure it from there. It would be great if I can get a cloud console to manage the systems."
"The support is a bit slow in resolving an issue. It takes a long time to recover."
"Scheduling backups is challenging due to the poor quality of the UI."
"The API uses a common data image to store the data for the sets, but unfortunately, it's limited to consecutive sets only. That's the only limitation I have observed so far."
"They had a good product and tried to change things by going to a different product. They should have tried to stay with a product that is a proven solution and successful."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"Customer service and technical support need improvement."
"Some of the features need improvement. One would be, as you're creating a Move group or a VPG, as they call it, it should either autosave or have the ability so that you can save it for coming back to later because if the setup times out, you lose all your work. That would be a nice improvement to have."
"Even though Zerto is for disaster recovery, it would be nice if it can also make backups."
"It is crucial for Zerto to collaborate closely with VMware in order to promptly test updates."
"The onset of configuring an environment in the cloud is difficult and could be easier to do."
"Zerto generates many false positive alerts, which is annoying. I still have thousands of alerts in my inbox, and those are false alerts. When I check there's actually no problem."
"There needs to be more flexibility in the licensing."
"It would be nice to have the option to do automatic failover, but right now the only option is manual."
