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."It's a pretty complete product."
"Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"It's simply very good software for backup purposes."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"The tool is good for VMware environments."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"The tool is fast and trustworthy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"The solution's recovery process is very smooth."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized."
"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage."
"The product must provide better security."
"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution."
"The product must improve its performance."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"There might be room for improvement at the plugin level, specifically concerning application plugins."
"Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability."
"The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required."
