Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and 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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"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."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"The solution is stable."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"Stability."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I need to create reports to know whether something is available or not, how much frontend data is being protected, etc. Rubrik gives a lot of things in the report, which can be confusing. It isn't very easy to get reports. It shows all the backup, index, replication, and everything else in one report. So, I have to export, filter, and then do the calculations."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"I would like to see the entire Office 365 product suite backed up by Rubrik. For instance, they do SharePoint and Exchange online, but they don't back up Microsoft Teams. So, I would like to see more of the Office 365 suite added into their backup capabilities."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"It is an expensive product."
