We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, Veeam Backup & Replication, and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."
"Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"The solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"A very stable and scalable platform (you can backup/restore/protect a couple of MBs or hundred of TBs as well from the same console/platform)."
"The solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good."
"For virtualization it's perfect."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
"The restore capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the internal recovery."
"I like that the solution is very simple to install."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"The most important feature is the variety of backup applications it supports, including ERP systems and most other programs, such as Microsoft."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."
"The backup potential of the solution is very good. It's protected us in the past very well and allowed us to get up and running after an attack with minimal loss."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."
"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."
"The web interface could be more visual."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."
"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"There is no training provided, and their technicians are unaware of the features available."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"There's one common issue with tape backups: the tape might have some space left, but Backup Exec says it's not writable and needs replacement. We've encountered this with multiple clients, so it doesn't seem environment-specific. It's likely related to the software. We usually just format the tape and use it again without much investigation."
"More stable environment in a WAN infrastructure."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
"The solution could improve and adapt to new applications in the market so we can integrate Veritas Backup Exec with them to facilitate backup processes within these applications."
