Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."
"The expanse of the decoys that they have is valuable. They cover everything on the corporate side that you would think of, such as Windows, Linux, and even applications like SAP. They also go into the OT environment and emulate OT devices as well."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"The solution is scalable."
"The email archiving feature is very smooth and better than others."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c"."
"In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync."
"The ability to use S3 Data Store as a repository."
"Data reduction definitely reduces costs, not only software costs, but from the infrastructure needed."
"The main feature of this product is a flexible architecture and functionality that allows you to solve problems of any complexity and scale. Most importantly, it is not just a product that simply makes a backup, but it restores and saves a large number of services in critical situations. By the way, it works fine with different types of clouds, supports S3."
"Scalability is pretty much unlimited."
"The most valuable features are the stability and also how it's seamlessly integrated with other IBM offerings."
"Technical support is okay. We have not had many issues with them."
"It is a very stable product. The cost is similar to that of other enterprise solutions."
"The customization and the ability to backup across all platforms are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"They can improve the VMware recovery and VMware backup. There is an improvement area on the VMware infrastructure. They can make available what they call a VSA proxy. They can have an appliance-type setup to deploy VSA backups and help recover quicker. They can have an appliance ready. Instead of having to have a server dedicated to that and installing software on a server, they can just provide an actual appliance for that."
"Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console."
"Setup is complex."
"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"The solution must provide deception files across the network."
"We would like to see capabilities of long-term archiving and more support for hardware platforms."
"Its price can be better. It is very expensive. Its interface is very old and not user friendly. They can improve its interface. Their support can also be better. My clients are not very satisfied with the support because they are not really quick."
"It's difficult in terms of the configuration at set up. In our case, it required another admin, one person dedicated to the backup."
"I need two separate solutions for virtual and physical systems. I need IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for virtual systems and Spectrum Protect for physical systems and that's a pain. It would be an improvement if they were combined."
"I should be able to backup Linux. I would like SUSE for Linux on POWER. Right now, we have to use Storex, which is a pain to use."
"The solution needs to work on disaster recovery integration. Basically, VMware applications to the cloud, for example. There needs to be integration with the storage, and integration with VMware."
"The solution's ability to integrate with a cloud solution is one area that needs improvement."
"Integration with some applications in the healthcare field could be added, as that is a big part of our business."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
