Carbonite Server vs Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] comparison

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

"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 seems reliable and easy to use."

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

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

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

"The solution is very stable."

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."

"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."

"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."

"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."

"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."

"It hasn't given us any issues so far."

"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."

"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."

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

"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."

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

"The stability has room for improvement."

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

"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."

"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."

"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."

"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."

"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."

"The solution is open source."

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

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

"Its price is reasonable."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
