We performed a comparison between Carbonite Server, KeyCloud Backup and Recovery, and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"It seems reliable and easy to use."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."
"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"The most important features is that it provides consistent cloud-based backup."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"In Veeam backup, the most valuable feature for me is the recovery. It allows me to recover almost immediately while I continue fixing the problem of the affected machine."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"It's simply very good software for backup purposes."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."
"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that."
"They need to address the confusing recovery dialogue."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
"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."
"It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
