We performed a comparison between Veeam Backup & Replication and Veritas System Recovery 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."This is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is the ease of use."
"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"The installation was straightforward."
"You can back up the whole image."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
"Veeam Backup Replication has agents for Linux, but they are not supporting Cluster Shared Volumes. It would be great to have agents for Linux be cluster-aware, just like the Windows agents. That's the main pain point. In addition, we should be able to handle the automation of Oracle backups from the backup server. We should be able to schedule, control, and deploy them from the backup server rather than relying on scripts and/or the system you are backing up to perform the backup. Currently, we install the plug-in inside Oracle VMs and then use crontabs to handle the task schedule on each machine for scheduling the backups. Veeam Backup Replication should also support the automation of Nutanix backups from the backup server, not from the proxy. The other not so major thing is that they don't support legacy systems because Veeam is a new company. It is not as old as other companies. They don't support physical workloads that are really old, which a major challenge, but they do have a point. Legacy systems should be virtualized, and if they're virtualized, then the backup is not an issue with Veeam, but some customers like the physical setup, and they don't want to have it virtual."
"Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs."
"There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product,"
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"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."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"It needs an easier interface."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
