We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It is a stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"The backup features are very useful."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the native backup capabilities."
"The tool has a lot of features."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"The daily backups have become easier since we no longer need to handle large backups. The use of Azure Backup as a service has proven reliable and simplified our daily operations. Previously, we relied on LTO backups for data retention, but after migrating to the cloud and adopting Azure Backup, the delivery process has become smoother."
"The hardware is always updated and it's saved us a lot of money."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"It's simple to use."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The user interface is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The monitoring and tagging features could be improved."
"Technical support can be slow to respond at times."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"I believe more options could be available to understand better what's happening in the system. Additionally, automating the client updates and connector updates would be beneficial. Updating the connector from time to time can be challenging, and it could be made more transparent and straightforward for users. Moreover, another drawback lies in the time it takes to test full data backup recovery. Deploying a full recovery takes longer. We need to allocate a longer period for complete data recovery to establish the environment again."
"The integration needs improvement."
"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."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"It could use deduplication features."
"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."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
