Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks. Rubrik is a very nice, very good solution because it is able to protect your data and you have the possibility from the backup to detect any abnormal behavior, like a ransomware attack. You are able to detect and restore very easily with this solution. This is a major differentiator in comparison to the other competitors."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"The initial setup, if it is error-free, is very simple."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was very easy. Deployment only took about one hour with configuration and everything considered."
"The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is easy to use and performing a recovery is easy to do."
"A full-featured option for managing virtual machines with an instant recovery feature."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"I don't have any major problems with the agent connectivity with Microsoft applications or Microsoft Azure."
"We found the initial setup to be quite simple."
"The installation of Veeam Agent is straightforward."
"This solution has a very good technical support department that is very responsive."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"Backup Exec 2012 R2 is a very good product for the Windows file system and SQL backups. It is very user-friendly, but the next version Backup Exec 2014 that is released and the other next versions of Backup Exec product is not so friendly."
"It is responding very well, and its performance is good. It has a lot of options. For backup, you can connect it to a cloud or a physical hard drive. They also provide an API for integration with different platforms and products. However, we have not integrated it with another product."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"The backup potential of the solution is very good. It's protected us in the past very well and allowed us to get up and running after an attack with minimal loss."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support I received when I had an issue."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"We can't use tape for primary storage on Veeam."
"An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"It could provide better ease of management than one of its competitors."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"Veritas Backup Exec should be more user-friendly. The costs should also be much lower and it should be easier to go through the disaster recovery process."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
