Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"The solution is strong."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"Instead of four or five tools, consisting of backup software, storage where the backup resides, and a separate system for reporting and central monitoring, they all now come in the virtual edition for IDP."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Scalability is very good."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"After resizing and compression, the system continuously runs out of space. Dell EMC doesn't do automatic cleanup or other things, so we constantly have to manually go in there or work with Dell support on this. The solution has not been working as advertised."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
