Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."I find the whole product useful. The backup archive client, snapshot, spectrum for virtual environments are beneficial features."
"Disk-based implementation of a data protection solution for multiple sites is a better fit for my complex data protection needs."
"What I found most valuable in IBM Spectrum Protect is that it allows you to back up physical machines, and its proxy feature lets you back up virtual machines."
"The solution is not complex, it's very easy to configure agents or VM backup and restore. Upgrades from one version to another are very fast and the product is very stable."
"The solution can back up every kind of workload in the environment."
"Instead of taking three different backups of your systems, you're taking only one. You're able to crack that open and get what you need. The incident recovery, where it creates the VM and then you're running it, technically you're running it on Spectrum Protect. But then in the background, it's doing the storage motion and moving it off the Spectrum Protect back to your VMware environment. The users don't know the difference."
"The software-defined ability to do data reduction through deduplication and compression, as well as being able to replicate data to a cloud container."
"The best part of this solution is that it just works."
"This is a reliable system that supports Veeam backup and recovery for Windows."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows are the backups, ease of use, and report manager."
"The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved."
"It is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features are backup and restore. This solution is also easy to use."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is good and easy to use for backing up physical servers. It is working fine, and it is stable and scalable."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"It is important, when we chose a solution, that the customer service/technical support team could help us when we needed it, but the support was good."

"It is essential. We can't do without it."
"The backup and restoration are 100 percent guaranteed."
"I like the cross-platform features."
"The solution could be more user-friendly and provide better monitoring. The monitoring should be improved first since it is a higher priority."
"This solution does not have good support for virtualization and a hyper-converged environment."
"Technical support could be improved."
"We recently had a situation where we quickly got code, and the number of tapes exceeded the library capacity so we were waiting a while to change. We got a fix for this right away."
"They should have a proper technical support team serving the customers and get issues resolved earlier."
"Integration with Windows environments needs improvement. It should be more "assisted", both at the application and database level. It remains a product that fits better in Unix/Linux environments than in Windows environments, given its configuration procedures."
"They do not have a unified GUI, they only work on CLI and operations center, which is really complicated for the installation and configuration."
"The usability of IBM Spectrum Protect could be improved, specifically additional features to the product in the operations center. Additional reporting facilities and stronger reporting tools such as build dashboards would be beneficial."
"Some customers have Oracle databases and Veeam does support back up of Oracle databases."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
"With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement."
"An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing."
"A lower price would always be beneficial."
"We can't use tape for primary storage on Veeam."
"We have issues reaching them during some hours, and we need to escalate through several levels to get a resolution. Sometimes tickets stay open for days."
"The HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
"The product is not able to keep up with other competitors in the market."
"They need to improve their support. In the beginning, their engineers had trouble understanding the issue we were presenting. It took a lot of conversations for them to start troubleshooting the problem."
"There is room for improvement in the implementation of Power servers."
"The biggest problem with NetBackup is licensing."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
"The implementation process could be simplified to make it quicker."
