Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"It's scalable."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable."
"It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"The integration needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the application backups, particularly for Oracle and SaaS systems. Veeam Backup & Replication offers a plugin specifically designed for Oracle and SAP HANA databases. In version twelve, they introduced enhancements that allow deploying the plugin from the backup server. However, manual configuration is still required on each server to schedule the backup and specify the backup repository. Additionally, transitioning from a Windows server to a Linux server requires converting the existing model. Previously, Veeam heavily relied on Windows and Microsoft SQL databases for their solution. Fortunately, in version twelve, they introduced an enhancement by offering the option to use a Postgres SQL database, which is an open-source alternative."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature."
"This is an expensive solution."
