Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The customer service and support are fast and professional."
"We are very satisfied with the product as a whole—all the backup functions, the data protection functions. We are very satisfied with those, and the product is very simple to use."
"The most valuable features are the rapid VM restores and the ability to quickly find files and download them directly to my desktop so that I can put them where I need them to be."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"Cohesity is a cost-effective storage designed for secondary or archival data. It also integrates well with a number of other systems, like VMware, Pure Storage, or AWS with its large array of APIs available to the user."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"It has a lightning fast restore."
"The SQL Backup and Restore is very easy."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
"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."
"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."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."
"Cohesity DataProtect can improve in the area of databases. We have had some challenges with both Cohesity and Rubrik being able to effectively back up in a timely manner the SQL Oracle workloads."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
"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."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."
"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
