Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The product's stability is good enough."
"We now have the capability to recover a virtual machine without relying on the NFS system, but instead are able to use certain features provided by Commvault."
"The solution's stability is excellent."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"It has significantly reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our backup operations. We're going from an on-prem to a non-on-prem, we're all doing nonsolutions. So we really can't compare it against anything else."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"I would like Commvault to have a feature for cybersecurity threats, e.g. securing the target backup repository. Commvault just started testing and releasing this feature, but it needs to be stabilized."
"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."
"You need quite a lot of human resources to maintain a Commvault environment, to keep it operational. Also, it would be nice to if there were an easier way set up some Commvault components."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"Stability."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
