Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"We sell Avamar with Data Domain. Data Domain and Avamar work really well together and their compression ratios are very high compared to Veeam, Commvault, and all the other backup software on the market."
"The setup is very easy."
"For the on-prem backup, it has all the necessary features that we require. They keep coming up with new scripts and new updates."
"Dell EMC Avamar has many valuable features. It's very stable and it's easy to manage."
"It was very simple to deploy the solution to the client that you wanted to backup."
"So far, Avamar covers everything we want. We are replicating to other sites for disaster recovery, so it's working well for us."
"It works quickly and is very stable."
"We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application."
"I think Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO."
"The solution's recovery process is very smooth."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files."
"The tool is fast and trustworthy."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of deployment, its many interesting functions, and its good performance for both backup and restoration."
"Veeam Data Platform copies data very efficiently."
"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."
"There also needs to be single sign-on support."
"It would be helpful if there was cloud support."
"We'd like to see something that could also work with Unix servers and physical servers to have a unified solution that works with everything."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It's not as good as it could be."
"The user interface still needs to have some level of improvement. It could be more user-friendly and intuitive."
"The interface could be more helpful for people."
"The interface has room for improvement. It's not ideal right now."
"Compared with Cohesity or Rubrik, which have some continuous data protection for backup and replication, this solution tends to lack in this area."
"Regarding managing LQ or Liberty delivery, there was no system initially; it was solely for backing up Vista Disc. I suggested enhancing this option. However, my experience with Dibree was unsatisfactory. I recommended adding Azure for EBMI XPower backup and incorporating SolarWinds for end-of-month risk processes, which were not part of the initial solution."
"Enhancing the level of automation in IT processes would be beneficial."
"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution."
"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."
"The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
