Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The solution's support team is excellent."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"For virtualization it's perfect."
"The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."
"Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"The encryption password is used to protect the backup files. Even if someone gains access to the backup job or files, they won't be able to utilize them without the password."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."
"The initial setup was not straightforward at all."
"They fixed everything that I was hoping for. It is pretty good. There were a few things in 9.x that I was wishing for, and they came true in version 10. We were looking for retention without having to make a copy job. We're getting ready to migrate m365 to the cloud. I haven't dived into it to make sure, but I wish the m365 backup would integrate into the current console so that we don't have to use two different consoles."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for direct backup to tape."
"Even though the speed has improved over the years, I think that there are some instances where it still takes a while."
