Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well. It also provides consistent recovery processes. Whenever we have needed to do a restore, it has worked quickly and efficiently."
"I'm a big fan of the reporting. You can build your own reports; it's very customizable. You can have individual reports going to groups of people or individuals. You can have them go out multiple times a day. It's basically a free-for-all as far as reporting goes. If anybody wants a specific job report every day, you can build it, schedule it, and have it go out and never touched it again. It's pretty nice."
"It's great for getting data back."
"We have VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. We have a lot of different systems, and all of them are supported under one licensing agreement. That's one of the benefits."
"It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."
"Its compression and deduplication allow us to store more backups and save storage space. The reporting is great; we are able to obtain critical business reports and infrastructure/usage information very easily."
"The solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The user interface is good."
"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."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"The technical support is good."
"Could be easier to implement."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"I really struggled to configure HyperScale X as there was a lack of detailed documentation."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"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."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"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."
