Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"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."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do."
"With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"If the system were to go down, we needed to make sure that the system could be recovered and available as soon as possible. Spectrum Protect provides you access to directly bind the backup volume to the server and make the system available instead of restoring it and copying the system."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"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."
"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"Stability."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"An area that needs improvement is data validation. We currently use another product that gives us immediate validation, information about when the last backup was, and no risk of corruption happening. TSM in IBM Spectrum is not mature so that you can validate on the spot."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"It requires much more automation features."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"I think the graphical reports are a shortcoming of the tool since it fails to provide my company with what we want in terms of reporting. Due to the product's inability to take care of its reporting part, we have to use third-party software."
"I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
