We performed a comparison between Azure Site Recovery and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations."
"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards."
"Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs."
"The setup was straightforward Veeam Backup Replication. NetBackup is a larger solution and takes more time to implement but Veeam Backup Replication takes approximately 40 days."
"The solution offers the normal benefits of a virtual machine versus a physical, actual machine. It doesn't take up space, for example."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"From my experience, Veeam is very good. Its interface is user-friendly. We can restore it whenever. It's not complicated. It's very easy to manage and administration is very easy."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
"We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."
"I would like to see more security features."
"It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location."
"When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit."
"The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support."
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."
"The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"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."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"The SME that helped us with the implementation would probably have more insight because he used it way more than we have. We just use it for making sure that our backups are done daily, and the replications are being performed between sites. We haven't had any issues at all with it other than the fact that there is a slight process to acquire additional licenses if we want to expand our number of hosts. That's because it is based on the number of cores and threads that are used."
"There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it."
