Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The implementation and training are all done through the sales engineer, which provides for a seamless and great experience when it comes to starting with a new vendor."
"It offers an easy, quick backup and restore of files and VMs. Also, the "Google-like " search for files is awesome."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable. Being a cloud version, it has more flexibility, and it allows me to incorporate different workloads and consolidate all the data in one place. It has good high availability, and it is also easy to maintain."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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 initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"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."
"I would like to see Cohesity have the ability to do a file level restore from a Windows server, which is storing data on dynamic disk."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"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."
"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."
"The integration needs improvement."
"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."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"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."
