Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"The most useful thing is that it provides a snapshot of your environment in about 15 minutes. It is stable, and it always works. It is also scalable and easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"We use the tool for business continuity purposes."
"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster 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."
"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"It most valuable features are seeding and faster backups over small links."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"In Veeam backup, the most valuable feature for me is the recovery. It allows me to recover almost immediately while I continue fixing the problem of the affected machine."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."
"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
"I would like to see more security features."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."
"The stability for AIX machines could be better."
"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"Veeam Backup Replication has agents for Linux, but they are not supporting Cluster Shared Volumes. It would be great to have agents for Linux be cluster-aware, just like the Windows agents. That's the main pain point. In addition, we should be able to handle the automation of Oracle backups from the backup server. We should be able to schedule, control, and deploy them from the backup server rather than relying on scripts and/or the system you are backing up to perform the backup. Currently, we install the plug-in inside Oracle VMs and then use crontabs to handle the task schedule on each machine for scheduling the backups. Veeam Backup Replication should also support the automation of Nutanix backups from the backup server, not from the proxy. The other not so major thing is that they don't support legacy systems because Veeam is a new company. It is not as old as other companies. They don't support physical workloads that are really old, which a major challenge, but they do have a point. Legacy systems should be virtualized, and if they're virtualized, then the backup is not an issue with Veeam, but some customers like the physical setup, and they don't want to have it virtual."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."
