Jose Francisco Rosario - PeerSpot reviewer
A reliable platform with good encryption process for data security
Setting up iDrive is straightforward and easy. The local software can be installed after setting up everything in the cloud. The deployment process can take a few hours or more depending on the complexity of the structure you want to create. Integrating iDrive into our ecosystem was not complex. I handled the deployment process by myself and did not need much workforce for deployment. Our IT technicians handle all implementations and changes. The maintenance process for iDrive is smooth, but often faces challenges in terms of sensitivity to internet bandwidth variations. If there's a large variation, it might pause the backup process. But in such cases, the notifications keep us updated as it is very swift and reliable.

Provides efficient backup management and fast support response for Windows virtual machines
There is room for improvement in Veeam Backup for AWS regarding its pricing. There are alternative solutions available at a lower price. The product would benefit from adding more security features and improving compatibility with other operating systems like IBM AIX. Moreover, offering different licensing models, such as packages or perpetual licenses, other than subscription, could be advantageous.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The encryption process is the most useful part of using iDrive for data security. I also use the background backup feature which helps me to clone and conduct computer backup. These features are very reliable, especially when restoring images from damaged servers. But I don't use the real-time backup feature; I always use the scheduled backup."
"iDrive will keep up to 30 versions of a file."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has valuable features such as easy management and installation."
 

Cons

"I’ve had issues like the scheduler mysteriously erasing my settings. I have to babysit it."
"The disadvantage of using real-time backup in iDrive is that it significantly impacts server performance, causing considerable speed issues. The archiving process needs improvement along with the management of bandwidth and CPU. There should also be more options for creating conditions to manage the workload of the environment, making the system easier to balance."
"There is room for improvement in Veeam Backup for AWS regarding its pricing. There are alternative solutions available at a lower price."
