Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"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 solution offers a 100% guarantee that if it's backed up you will be able to restore it onto any platform you want."
"Probably the point-in-time recovery is most valuable. The other piece that is really nice is that you can mount a whole server at any point in time. So, you can mount the server with all the drives to a Z drive or something like that. It will just mount it all up, and your data is accessible right there on one drive, which is nice."
"Just knowing that the data is easily recoverable is our ROI. It definitely lowers risk."
"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 fact that it can take a snapshot of everything on a server and replicate it on another server in real-time is the most valuable feature."
"The compression and deduplication features have helped to save on storage costs."
"Solution provides good security."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"If you have windows machine at home and you'd like a backup, you can always download their free edition and plug in an external hard disk, and do a full backup of your laptop."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and stability of the product."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved."
"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."
"Sometimes, when we have certain batches for Windows, it needs to be restarted. When it's restarted, the service is configured as a delayed start. Sometimes, you need to wait too long until it rights itself, or you have to do it manually."
"Rapid Recovery can only backup the machine or disc, but it can't back up from folders, and files, and things like that."
"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."
"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."
"The compression ratio and application ratio could still be improved in this solution. Reporting could also be improved, for better monitoring."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive."
"I would like there to be more integration with other platforms."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"We need some sort of security for backups and archives."
