We performed a comparison between Veeam Backup & Replication and VxRail based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."
"WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities."
"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."
"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."
"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"It is a straightforward solution. There is no need for a dedicated technical person to do the backup and replication. Veeam is very straightforward when it comes to doing the replication."
"Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful. It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"The solution is perfect for the lifecycle management of hardware."
"One beneficial feature is that the solution can handle complex environments."
"Valuable features for us are the VDI, UCC, and HCI."
"The cover points feature in VxRail is remarkable. It's unique. It has an intervention failover system as well as an automatic failover system, reaching clusters existing in VxRail. This makes all files act as a single file with a large and huge resource, and, of course, with customized administration, configuration, and resources. It provides automatic failover for redundancy and data recovery."
"The assurance that my systems would not suffer a performance drop no matter where they are is valuable. I do not need any extra hardware."
"We like the design and that it meets data storage needs."
"The support has been excellent, especially if you compare it to IBM."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
"While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Its import and export processes for information and policies could be better."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"I would like for them to develop the ability to fix the way it does backups. We can't pick a backup for one database. We have to do a backup on the whole Exchange VM. I'd like for them to change it to where we can do individual backups."
"This is an expensive solution."
"In the next release, maybe they could add in integration with the hyper-cloud so it will be easier to do the movement up and back to the cloud in order to scale in and scale out."
"The solution could improve by having more storage performance because in some other solutions you can have a file system that can be mounted at several places at one time."
"They should have better compatibility with other processors, such as AMD processors."
"We do not use the storage part of VxRail, we use Pure Storage to map out the VxRail because the disk performance from Pure Storage was far better than the performance of the disk on the inside of VxRail."
"When it comes to maintenance, it takes 16 hours to upgrade a 12 node VxRail plus. This could be improved in the system."
"I would like to see more solutions for satellite capabilities where we can put it into smaller locations and still have the redundancy that we have with a larger cluster."
"The UI could be a little more informative."
"The initial setup was not that easy, it was a medium difficulty level."
