Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"It is scalable."
"The technical support is good."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"It has an intuitive interface, and it provides us with successful backups without needing to tweak or do any adjusting. We just set it up and like their ad says, "It Just Works.""
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions."
"The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good."
"The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
"Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"The integration needs improvement."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"I would want them to improve some technical features that are still missing because we are working with NetApp NVMe and they're not fully supporting it yet. But both NetApp and Veeam know about it and they're working on it."
"Lacks online training."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"In the next release I would like to see a bit more intelligence as far as a solution or troubleshooting - to put it more on the level of resolution and not simply identifying there is a problem."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
