Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."One feature I found that's the most valuable in Quest Rapid Recovery is the VM standby feature which is very useful for my current customer. The solution also has a great replication feature. The third most valuable feature in Quest Rapid Recovery is the five-minute RPO and the fifteen-minute RTO. The solution is also very user-friendly."
"The general backup for replication and virtual standby are the most valuable aspects. It does what it says it does. It's a decent tool for not a big budget."
"Built-in encryption helps to secure our data as it travels from our on-site server to our off-site backup server."
"Definitely, the mount and recovery points are the most valuable, because if someone deletes a file or something, or if something gets corrupted, we can always revert back to an old change because our repository goes about a month back. The ability to roll back files and the ability to roll back servers is really important."
"The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"Just knowing that the data is easily recoverable is our ROI. It definitely lowers risk."
"The compression and deduplication features have helped to save on storage costs."
"The solution offers a 100% guarantee that if it's backed up you will be able to restore it onto any platform you want."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover."
"It is a stable solution."
"The initial setup, if it is error-free, is very simple."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"This is a reliable system that supports Veeam backup and recovery for Windows."
"There could be better space management for incremental data. When you use incremental data, the space in the appliance keeps on going up. There should be a better way to manage the space. You have to manage the incremental data to reduce the time."
"The on-premises deployment model shouldn't have a maintenance fee. If there's going to be technical support, they need it to be free or it should be paid on upon adopting the solution."
"For the most part, it is really good in terms of flexibility and choice of recovery methods. What we found lacking was being able to back up virtual volumes that are clustered. We ran out of luck there. There should be an option for backing up clustered virtual volumes."
"It's not really Quest's fault, but the only issue that I had during the time when I was doing a lot of our restores is whenever the server reboots, it has to bring all of the repositories back in again, which takes around five to six hours to pull eight terabytes back in again."
"I think the self-paced learning and knowledge base can always be improved so that users can self-service without having to contact either a reseller or Quest. I know there are things that I would have been looking for to try and solve. And the only way I could get there was to actually open a ticket rather than go through self-service through the portal."
"You can only take a snapshot from a virtual environment. It should have the ability to take snapshots from both a virtual and physical environment."
"One area where Quest Rapid Recovery has room for improvement is in the handling of snapshots on Hyper-V."
"In terms of what needs improvement in Quest Rapid Recovery, though the solution is seamless, right now, they are just giving the software which means we'll need to arrange the hardware. If they can combine the appliance and software, that would be a great approach. In the next release of Quest Rapid Recovery, it would be great if they'd add a folder backup feature because only a snapshot backup feature is available at the moment."
"While the Veeam agent is perfect, sometimes the agent doesn't install in Windows."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement."
"I would like to have more flexibility in terms of reporting details about the backup."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
