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."It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"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 allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory solution."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"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 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 solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions."
"I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use. We don't have any issues with it."
"This is easy to use with a simple restore feature."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"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."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that."
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."
"The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
"The tool should improve synchronization."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."
"Veeam currently lacks features for backing up to network-attached storage. Veeam Backup & Replication agents do not support S3 storage. Only Veeam Backup & Replication server supports S3 storage."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"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."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"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."
