Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."I have found that the speed of restores, especially files and folders, are extremely fast. This bodes well for us, and our end users are always amazed at how fast you can get them their files."
"Several features enable us to perform fast recovery, such as instant fast recovery. All our virtual machines protected with the product can be quickly restored to another healthy environment with minimal downtime for our main customers. These features have significantly improved our recovery time objectives."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"The system automatically takes down the nodes one at a time and performs the upgrade and brings the node back up before proceeding to the next. Upgrades can now be done at any time with a high level of confidence."
"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"It is scalable."
"The user interface is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"I would like to see Cohesity have the ability to do a file level restore from a Windows server, which is storing data on dynamic disk."
"Microsoft Exchange online mailbox backups would be fantastic."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"It could use deduplication features."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
