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."Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer."
"A simple and stable solution for small businesses that use virtualization."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The technical support is good."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"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."
"It needs to offer an automatic check for backups."
"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."
"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced solutions for database backup, particularly for Oracle databases in the context of SAP systems."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"The initial setup can get complex."
