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."I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"The user interface is good and it is very easy to use."
"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"The solution is quite easy to configure."
"I think Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO."
"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"When it comes to service cases, I would choose Veeam Data Platform over Commvault because restoring from Commvault can be time-consuming due to filtering tasks. Veeam Data Platform, on the other hand, offers a much simpler and faster restore process."
"The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."
"The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP."
"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."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"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."
"Some of the best practice documentation could be improved."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"The remote SQL server has had multiple sizing issues within the logs and SQL backup space and sharing with other database apps."
"Setting up for my case was completely different. There were some product-level bugs that caused a lot of challenges for Veeam Data Platform. So, it took a while."
"It would be beneficial if it could expand its coverage to support Frostbox and provide greater flexibility for service providers to recommend backup solutions based on customer preferences in prospective environments."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."
"The product must provide better security."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"Veeam's support services need improvement."
