Carbonite Server vs Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] comparison

"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."

"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."

"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."

"The solution is very stable."

"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."

"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."

"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 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 technical support is good."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."

"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'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."

"The user interface is good."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

"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."

"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."

"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."

"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."

"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."

"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."

"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."

"The pricing could be lowered if possible."

"The integration needs improvement."

"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."

"Its price is reasonable."

"The solution is open source."

"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."

"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."

"Price-wise it's good."

"The costing is very competitive."

"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."

"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."

"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."

"Licensing costs are monthly."

"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
