Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"The user interface is good."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"It is scalable."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products."
"It is a good overall suite of products."
"It has good stability. Its interface is very good, responsive, and easy for restoring data. I use it for backup, encryption, and restore operations, and it works. I am using many agents from VM to LMDP. I also use an agent for SQL Server, which has advanced options because it is the Enterprise version."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the easy-to-use intuitive GUI. It is very easy to understand. I have never lost data and I have been able to recover all the data I need."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
"It could use deduplication features."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"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."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"More stable environment in a WAN infrastructure."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"Something within the software itself isn't quite right. There may be a bug or glitch. It will work fine for weeks and then all of a sudden it just tanks."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"The solution could improve and adapt to new applications in the market so we can integrate Veritas Backup Exec with them to facilitate backup processes within these applications."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
"It could be improved in the area of reporting and ease-of-use."
