Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The feature we have found most valuable is when you want to integrate it with a Tape Library and then do the DRM life cycle. That is when it works the best."
"Scalability is pretty much unlimited."
"It is a very good and mature enterprise product. Once it is set up and everything is put in, you don't have to manage it. It actually runs automatically by itself."
"We optimize our costs of media and storage use, thanks to the Incremental Forever backup. The TDP software provides us many ways to protect our data, so we don't need to use monstrous scripts for doing backups now."
"It helps our customers protect their data, keep it long-term, and feel pretty secure about it, basically sleeping well at night."
"Scalability: Our customers are able to grow the product without having to buy additional hardware, so it is very scalable."
"It is very stable. A plus is to use POWERAge for the SNR copy of the Spectrum Protect, then it is more reliable."
"The customization and the ability to backup across all platforms are the most valuable features."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The user interface is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"It's difficult in terms of the configuration at set up. In our case, it required another admin, one person dedicated to the backup."
"They need to reduce the complexity and make the learning curve easier."
"It needs some software upgrades to fix some of its current bugs."
"Although I am not a technical user, I would say the cloud integration features could be improved."
"The most important feature which I wish to be added involves the GUI, the user interface."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
"I find the Level 1 and Level 2 support spend 80% of the time communicating the same information that I have already provided."
"I am looking forward to new features in the next release. One of the main features is the cloud storage integration, which was one of my main required features. I've had more difficult experiences with other platforms than with this one."
"It could use deduplication features."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
