Gartner defines enterprise backup and recovery software solutions as technology that captures a point-in-time copy (backup) of enterprise data in on-premises, hybrid, multicloud and software as a service (SaaS) environments. These solutions write this data to one or more secondary storage targets for the primary purpose of recovering it in case of loss. Protecting and recovering business application data, irrespective of the underlying infrastructure type and its location, is more important than ever. As enterprises move toward more complex environments that include large and expansive amounts of business-critical data, enterprise backup and recovery software solutions protect these workloads, whether they reside in on-premises, hybrid, multicloud or software as a service (SaaS) environments. These solutions are vital to organizations’ ability to recover data following events that cause it to become inaccessible. Whether such an event is accidental, malicious or environmental, organizations use these solutions to recover and restore access to the affected data accurately and efficiently. Solutions must offer effective capabilities to simplify the management of data protection across complex enterprise environments. They must also ensure reliable recovery not just from accidental or operational errors but also from data loss arising from constantly changing threats, and expedite and orchestrate data recovery responses to traditional disaster and ransomware events.
"Quick and Secure Backup Solution with Top-Tier Support"
The software is very easy to use in all aspects. It's very quick and easy to create a backup job, and even easier to restore a backup. Backup restorations only take a few minutes, even for very large objects (a 4.5TB virtual server takes about 15 minutes to fully restore and power on). Backups can be configured to allow even down to file-level restoration, eliminating the need to restore an entire server if only one file or folder needs to be restored. The current version of Veeam also scans the backups for Malware for added security. Lastly, the support team is exceptional. For the few issues that I have run into, support agents have been able to quickly identify and resolve the root of the problem.
"Dependable Issue Escalation with Dell in Critical Moments"
Everyone of our Dell's Account Executive and Advisory Systems Engineer have catered to all of our needs and concerns. They will immediately escalate any issues that we may have.
"Great technology that will lower your backup costs assuming you are sized large enough."
The trial period was great; we were able to leverage the virtual edition to fully test features before bringing the actual hardware onsite for a POC. The solution has worked well and has outclassed our previous setup in both ease of use as well as efficiency and speed. *UPDATE* In this update I would like to share my experience with hardware support from Cohesity, as our units have now been in service for over 5 years. I received a notification from the system that the expectant lifespan of one of the solid state drives was now down to 20%. Cohesity proactively replaced every one of our nodes, one at a time, so there was zero downtime to our backup cluster. This was unexpected and very welcome. They do stand behind their hardware as well as their software. I'm updating my rating of service and support to 5 stars because of this. *UPDATE 2* As a further update we have now retired out original cluster and installed a new cluster. The new cluster increased network speed, node count, and capacity. I think this is the highest compliment a review can give - we liked the solution enough to vote with our wallet a second time.

"Druva: The 5-Star All-Star solution for your cloud based backups"
The Tech support at Druva is one of the best I have encountered over the 34 years in the business. It is a pleasure to speak with them and their willingness to go out of their way to resolve any issue until it is done correctly. The product works and has been very reliable . I started with their onsite services, and slowly migrated to the cloud. In fact they were one of my first CLOUD based solutions. Which gave me confidence to allow more of our IT infrastructure to venture to the cloud.
"Traversing 9 Years with Commvault: A Profound Evaluation"
Commvault has been our only platform handling backups for the last 9 years. In the past I've worked with other products and even this year I have been challenged by other platforms. I can say I've seen a good share of different platforms and i must say Commvault is by far the most complete. Our company is surely not the biggest in its area but we do have a lot of technologies on board. We tend to keep up with the market when it comes to IT innovations. All of those need a decent backup that keeps up with the current pace (updates, versions, ..) When it comes to documentation, the Commvault portal can be too much to handle and the search function is not always on point. Luckily, Commvault support makes up for this and will help you with issues whether you are a beginner or expert with the software. In our country the Commvault base is quite small but they are always ready to help and think along. They organize many technical sessions during the year so you can experience first hand new features or road-map novelties. After 9 years I'm still very pleased with the choice of Commvault for our company.
