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 most valuable features of BackupAssist are ease of use, configure is simple, and more importantly, ease of recovery. If you needed to do a complete system recovery or another recovery it is straightforward."
"I have found that the backups are usually very successful."
"I get my reports. It is generally very reliable. Unless there is a major change, it doesn't stop backing up. I've got my server room set up with everything connected to the same power, and I never have power issues or failures of backups because a sub-site has gone off."
"We can configure the notifications themselves so that the right people get the notifications. This is very helpful. It allows key stakeholders to know if backups have happened and to remind each other to check the backups if something is not right."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable."
"It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors."
"Veeam Cloud Connect has helped us to reduce the cost of cloud storage for an offsite solution using their archive storage feature."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup Replication is application awareness. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly and it has been working very well."

"Many solutions become stagnant over time. However, BackupAssist has been consistent in updates but they must continue to innovate and improve to avoid stagnation."

"In the future I would like to see more support for Linux."
"Many solutions become stagnant over time. However, BackupAssist has been consistent in updates but they must continue to innovate and improve to avoid stagnation."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"It would be nice to see more affordable training options for individuals who want to enhance their skills. Some people I know have been interested in training courses, but they found them too expensive."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"The solution needs more detailed reporting."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
"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."
"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
