Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"The peace of mind of the backup is very important. Incremental backups make it fast and easy to use. We can recover from any failures in case of any hardware failures or malware attacks. We can do a rollback and recover our services with a little downtime. We can rollback even in the case of unsuccessful updates."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."
"Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"It is a scalable product."
"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."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"It supports multiple, heterogeneous platforms."
"We were evaluating other products and getting confused between Commvault and Veritas NetBackup. The one reason that we started with Veritas NetBackup is the pricing of the license. There's no other reason from a technical perspective or even operation or capability of the two software. The main reason we chose Veritas NetBackup was that in our use case it is more cost-effective."
"The most valuable feature is that it is basically a replica of our SAND data. We archive the SAND data for recovery, if there is an issue on the fence."
"Veritas NetBackup has significantly streamlined our backup and recovery processes by providing a single pane of view across various environments."
"The most valuable features are the VMware VADP backups and the support for data domains."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"The solution is stable."
"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
"It could provide better ease of management than one of its competitors."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"A web console would be great because nowadays a lot of products are web-based and you can access the console from various environments. So I would recommend bringing this feature in the next solution."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"Veritas NetBackup is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
"DDBoost."
"Netbackup can backup MySQL via Oracle policy, to be honest, this is not completely native support and this method has a few limitations. In fact, you can buy from Veritas (or Zmanda) clients for MySQL or PostgerSQL from Zmanda to backup MySQL or PostgreSQL on Linux."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
"The most common problem is the backup failures over the weekend. We have to troubleshoot and sometimes do restores and then we have trouble doing some of the restores."
"The HTML interface is a web application that does not offer all the features."
"The product is not able to keep up with other competitors in the market."
