Comparison Results: Veeam Backup & Replication comes out on top in this comparison due to its robust performance and user-friendly interface. Veeam Backup & Replication also has a significant ROI.
"My customers find the backup and recovery ease of use is the most beneficial feature."
"The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"The solution just works consistently. I never have issues with it."
"I like that the solution is very simple to install."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"Veeam Is very useful for most environments and can scale up in most environments - such as Amazon or Azure."
"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SRM is its integration with the VMware platform."
"The solution is simple to use and has effective automation."
"This SRM solution can improve your footprint within a data center."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the automatic recovery of the virtual machine if it goes down."
"Its capability to schedule, write and configure the recovery and scheduled steps, such that you don't have to come in and start manually trying to recover the entire machine. You just push a button to recover the VMware and everything is done."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the integration part, along with the subsequent hardware."
"The solution is very flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of operations."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined."
"The solution is rather weak when it comes to database integration."
"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."
"It could use DR features similar to Zerto."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"Immutability could be improved."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."
"The interface is not easy to use and can be made more user-friendly."
"Lacks stability and as a result requires continuous monitoring."
"The solution is on the expensive side."
"The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated."
"They could enhance the automation features for the product."
"The product's dashboard is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The configuration process could be improved."
