Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The ease of use and the console are great."
"One of the bigger features and advantages of the solution is that it is easy to integrate with my RMM which is also N-able."
"The solution has reduced backup times by an immeasurable amount. Its backups are incremental, so you are only backing up data changes based on the last 24 hours or so. If you are also maintaining the stored images, the restores are also only incremental, happening in minutes. Whereas, with a lot of the other solutions that we have looked at, each time it goes to refresh the restore, then it has to build a completely new image. That takes forever. This solution also improves recovery time."
"The user interface is the most valuable. It gives us the ability to check everything. With more than 100 endpoints running that software, I like the ability to quickly check that everything is working correctly. That's one of the biggest selling points."
"The product is simple to use and manage. The customers have access to verify the backups."
"The monitoring makes it very easy to check whether a backup has gone bad."
"Because the package includes cloud storage, we don't need to worry about hosting it inside. That was very important to us. And because the vendor has data centers worldwide, our reps in Europe and other places can get to what they need quickly and easily."
"It's their cloud, it's their storage. I don't have to buy a space on Amazon or Google's cloud and then use their software to push it. That works well for me. This way, I don't have to worry about another option or the opportunity that there might be a credential leak."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Veeam helps to create a stable environment with virtual servers."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"To do the actual backup configuration is also not too bad."
"Solution provides good security."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"I don't have any major problems with the agent connectivity with Microsoft applications or Microsoft Azure."
"N-able Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365 is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The only area that needs improvement is that it is a little bit difficult when you get into virtual machines. The initial deployment of Cove is a little tedious, not for standard machines, but when you get into specialty stuff, like Hyper-V."
"The reporting feature and functionality need improvement. We would like to see a little bit more detailed reporting that offers more CEO or C-level focused reporting options."
"I have some issues with the agent failing on workstations. I've had to completely uninstall several of them, delete everything, and start over to get them to work."
"A feature I'd like to see would be a more customizable admin console."
"Integration with a hybrid cloud is something that I found complicated."
"Having the licensing available for partners to be able to take advantage of testing without paying would make a big difference."
"We would like to have better reporting."
"With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
"We can't use tape for primary storage on Veeam."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
"Updating and configuration can sometimes be a little bit of a hassel, but once you know the product better it is easy to use."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
