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 solution is scalable."
"The solution is very stable, especially if you are using a RAC environment."
"The best feature is the DR replication for us."
"The software implementation takes about 30 minutes."
"The solution has a longer lifespan."
"It has the ability to support all kinds of backups. It can be used to back up databases, operating systems, virtual machines, Lotus Notes, and Exchange. It can also do remote image backups for remote sites. It integrates and works with Data Domain. It is an enterprise-class product that can be used for anything and everything across multiple sites and locations. It is also very scalable."
"This solution is really the best in the market! After evaluating other solutions, we automatically decided to use this one."
"It is scalable software. All you need to increase is its RAM and CPU. It's pretty easy."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."
"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."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The software also isn't user-friendly like Convault or Rubrik. The solution errors and management aren't so good in comparison."
"I would like to see better support for the container systems, and we would like to see more support for image backups instead of pure file backups."
"They need more support for image backups."
"Currently, the NetWorker server only supports the Windows server bare-metal recovery, so an improvement would be built-in support for Linux and UNIX BMR."
"The product should provide integration with AWS."
"he API side of the solution has certain shortcomings."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see encryption included in the next release to encrypt the data that we are backing up."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say they could add automations for disaster migrations and for reverse replication. Overall, they need more automation."
"I have used NetBackup. For heavy workloads or if I need consistent backup and restore, I prefer NetBackup over Veeam Backup Replication."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."
