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 aspects are the latest features in version 12.1, which introduced enhanced security features."
"One of the best things about Veeam is that they have consistently improved on themselves since they started. Personally, I've been using Veeam since around 2013/2014 when it was only supporting certain hypervisors such as HyperV, and since then it has become truly mature enterprise-level software with a lot of versatility."
"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."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are it is easy to use and manage."
"The most valuable feature is the internal recovery."
"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."
"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration."
"The most valuable aspect is its reliability in recovering any replaceable data in the event of server issues in a production environment."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"The most valuable data protection features in Veeam are encryption and error handling."
"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 tool's stability is good."
"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that."
"The SME that helped us with the implementation would probably have more insight because he used it way more than we have. We just use it for making sure that our backups are done daily, and the replications are being performed between sites. We haven't had any issues at all with it other than the fact that there is a slight process to acquire additional licenses if we want to expand our number of hosts. That's because it is based on the number of cores and threads that are used."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"The price could be lower."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."
"The product must provide better security."
"There might be room for improvement at the plugin level, specifically concerning application plugins."
"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."
"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."
"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
