Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Scalability is very good."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
"Setting up Backup Exec is straightforward. It took less than two weeks to get it up and running. You need maybe two people at most if you have a Veritas-certified engineer."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"One nice feature with Backup Exec is mainly that disaster can happen to any server and the disk image can be destroyed very easily. It's also easy to fully email the backup image and restore the server."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"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."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"It would be nice to improve the backup acceleration and the fast restoration required."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
