Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."For virtualization it's perfect."
"Very user-friendly and easily recoverable."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"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."
"Replication is most valuable."
"The technical support is good."
"It's somewhat hard to speak about specific features, but I like VxRail's simplicity and ease of use. It's a decent solution for customers with a small footprint. If you're operating a big data center, it's not easy to position VxRail or HCI solutions, but when you have a small customer managing many different components, it's easier to work only with one solution."
"The manageability for controlling the console is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature in the VxRail solution is the software that binds the management portal and its ease of use of managing the environment. The guys don't have to worry about getting multiple solutions specialist. You can have one person looking at and managing the whole environment."
"The stability is very nice. We haven't had any issues with the cluster. The cluster is very stable. No problems with slowness. Everything has been stable. It was well-architectured."
"It is the most valuable Software Defined Storage ever to manage all storage workloads, and also offers high availability."
"The stability is very good. We haven't had any issues at all. There aren't bugs or glitches. There aren't system crashes or anything of that nature."
"Depending on your architecture type, it's simple to manage and implement VxRail compared to other solutions. That's why most of our customers use it."
"Low-maintenance solution with hyperscale feature so it has the ability to utilize the resources for the VMware cluster setup on which Citrix VDA runs."
"There is some complexity we have experienced when using the solution that should be simplified."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Integration with other equipment could be improved."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."
"It could be improved by having more information on the integration portion of ACI."
"Next release, we would like to see online applications."
"VxRail could improve by having domain protection."
"A more containerized approach in regards to the interface would be better."
"Right now, it's difficult for a non-technical person to participate in using the product. It could be made more consumer-friendly."
"The solution should facilitate the separate expansion of computing and storage."
"The SCL database sends out a warning and you have to download the adjacent file from the Dell website. You have to upload it and retest it. We cannot always connect our systems to the internet which means we sometimes miss these important updates."
"In the next release, maybe they could add in integration with the hyper-cloud so it will be easier to do the movement up and back to the cloud in order to scale in and scale out."
