Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The most important features is that it provides consistent cloud-based backup."
"The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is easy to use and performing a recovery is easy to do."
"We found the initial setup to be quite simple."
"Technical support is good."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"A full-featured option for managing virtual machines with an instant recovery feature."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was very easy. Deployment only took about one hour with configuration and everything considered."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a VMware environment."
"The stability is great; there's very little downtime. I don't have to worry that there will be a surprise update to one of the ZVRAs or the host that I have to contend with. We're given plenty of notice to plan ahead for an update. As far as losing service and downtime, we haven't had that happen."
"Zerto's two main features are ease of management and that the product just works. It does what they say it'll do."
"Zerto is an excellent solution for cloud-based environments, but for DIY clients who have another site to recover their systems it also works well."
"Real-time or near real-time replication has been the most valuable feature. Our RTO is generally between six and eight seconds. The impact on our RTO is essential."
"It is cost-effective and stable. It protects virtual machines, and there is a fast recovery time."
"Zerto is essential for protecting critical workloads. We don't protect all of our VMs, but some need to be recovered in a timely manner. The recovery time is almost immediate."
"We don't have to spend a whole lot of time worrying about DR and whether or not we are covered. Zerto just works. As it is replicating, we don't need to spend a whole lot of time with it. That is a huge benefit as far as daily management."
"The way we can use checkpoints from each VM to restore them is an excellent feature, and the replication is great."
"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"While the Veeam agent is perfect, sometimes the agent doesn't install in Windows."
"I would like there to be more integration with other platforms."
"The backups can go slow."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"We need some sort of security for backups and archives."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support I received when I had an issue."
"If you are doing an AIX backup then you have to use the CLI because it doesn't appear on the console, the way that Windows and Linux jobs do."
"In Azure... We have to make sure that every resource group is tagged correctly, with the correct team and department because we have to bill them at the end of the month. The problem is that Zerto does not have that ability. When the product fails over or migrates a VM from on-prem, or even within Azure, to another site, it does not give you the option of selecting an existing resource group."
"It has some quirks. We have quirks with appliances. Some things don't really work as expected, but it is minor."
"I would like to see some graphical improvements in Zerto's interface. There's an option to export a list of all of our servers, but the information isn't presented the way we want. We want it in a specified sequence broken down by region, etc. We can't manipulate the data when we export it. Maybe they could change it to look more like an Excel sheet, and we can customize the graphics and data. We suggested these improvements to Zerto through their portal."
"I would like them to add a VM host replication option. Being able to replicate host configuration between sites would be a huge benefit."
"I would like to see a separate product offer for performing backups, although I think that this is something that they are expecting to release in the next version."
"We would like some of the real fine or granular things. We've submitted a few minor things for enhancements such as being able to control bandwidth utilization for each facility you replicate to versus overall. We just need a little bit more granularity on some of the things, but there is not a whole bunch that is in need of tweaking."
"My only business complaint is the cost of the solution. I feel like the cost could be a tad lower, but we are willing to pay extra to get the Premium service."
"You can create a VPG and put anywhere from one to 17 servers in that group. We build them one by one. If something changes in VMware, it would be nice to be able to go in and change that VPG, having it update without messing up. When you change them now, it only applies to the copies from the points when you changed it. I wish it would purge that older data from the past. Right now, we have to build a new VPG, which is not a big deal as it is just a few screens."
