We performed a comparison between Barracuda Backup and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."
"Good compression when storing data."
"I consider the solution's technical support to be excellent, perfect."
"Simple and stable."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"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."
"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
