Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"This is a stable solution."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows's most useful features is the ease of use and user-friendly."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"It is a stable solution."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"I don't have any major problems with the agent connectivity with Microsoft applications or Microsoft Azure."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better."
"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
"An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
