Carbonite Server vs Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] comparison

"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."

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

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

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

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

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."

"The solution is very stable."

"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."

"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."

"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."

"The technical support is good."

"It is scalable."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 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 The dashboard is a little outdated.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."

"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."

"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."

"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."

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

"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."

"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."

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

"Technical support could be improved."

"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."

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

"Its price is reasonable."

"The solution is open source."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."

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

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

"Price-wise it's good."

"The costing is very competitive."
