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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."
"This solution is stable."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"It is a good backup tool."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"The product allows for versatile storage options, enabling users to store data on disk storage, NAS storage, or tape libraries."
"The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"The product is good in a small environment when looking to a backup on a tape."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Stability."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"There's one common issue with tape backups: the tape might have some space left, but Backup Exec says it's not writable and needs replacement. We've encountered this with multiple clients, so it doesn't seem environment-specific. It's likely related to the software. We usually just format the tape and use it again without much investigation."
"The one thing which could be improved, which we have informed Veritas about, is the ability to plug in to the cloud. Meaning, instead of using local storage if we're backing up a small user or end user, we want to be able to make it so they can direct the backups directly to the cloud. It can't be done at the moment. We can only back up to the storage then replicate to the cloud, but we cannot use the cloud as a source of storage."
"The deduplication feature can be improved."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
