Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"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 ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"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 CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Stability."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
