Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."It allows our Windows and Unix teams to have a centralized point to share data between the two."
"It is very flexible. It integrates well with the public cloud and other components, so everything can be API driven. Therefore, it is very easy to automate it."
"The product is user-friendly and helps to evaluate the performance of each node. It ensures that if one node encounters an issue, the system can immediately redistribute the workload without interruptions. This setup provides uninterrupted operation for our systems."
"It's an easy product to use that is stable and has good performance."
"The tool's most valuable features are ease of use, ease of access, expandability, availability, and performance. NVMe drives have improved their performance."
"Using the built-in Snapshots and SnapMirror technology, we were able to have better working data protection locally and off-site."
"Has rock solid reliability and is easy to use."
"Snapshot, deduplication, and compression features are valuable."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"Veeam is the gold standard for backup and recovery. The ease of use and reliability of this solution are real assets. Also, it has an ease of use to work with a third party vendor."
"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"Veeam communicates with the vCenter in VMware, which means it's very smooth and doesn't interrupt production on VMware and you can backup or restore anytime, anywhere."
"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."
"It's not a cheap system. It is very expensive. The pricing has been ridiculous every time that we had to renew the support."
"I’ve found that I use command line more often than I thought needed. Some things should be done in the GUI, and command-line switches can be overwhelming and take up a lot of time."
"Cost is always a factor. Some people choose EMC or Dell because they perceive NetApp as being more expensive."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"They should add new features to the product."
"We have some experience with older equipment end-of-life. For example, when warranty support stops or updates stop – it can be frustrating. Not all clients can buy a new filer every year or two, and NetApp ending support a bit quickly can be a concern."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
"We would like to have further integration with some backup products. They have some of them already, but there could be more."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
"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 price can be a bit expensive."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"Integration with other equipment could be improved."
