Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."
"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."
"Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."
 

Cons

"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
"It needs to support more applications. In terms of supported applications, Oracle SQL and Office 365 are supported, but I am not sure if it supports Linux-based applications. That's why I'm looking for an alternative. I am currently testing Commvault. The advantage of Commvault is that a lot of applications are supported with it. I am not sure if CIFS is currently supported. It would be nice to have this feature in case it is not already supported"
"The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is high."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
