Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."I know I won't have an issue if the data is there. The reliability and the confidence that we have is amazing. It doesn't matter. We've had customers have ransomware. We've had customers that have had corruption. We've had customers that have had employees destroy their data. As long as it's been backed up, I know that I can get it back and I know I have nothing to worry about. Our confidence level is very high."
"For starters, this is one of few databases that allow us to backup MySQL databases, most others only support Microsoft SQL. This solution also has a very user-friendly interface accessed through a web browser. Additionally, backups can be easily configured through N-able Backup."
"The most valuables feature is the alerts and monitoring that catches the failed backups."
"The initial setup of N-able Cove Data Protection was very easy."
"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."
"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 provides a single dashboard for all types of data protection, we monitor everything through a single dashboard. It simplifies everything overall. It allows us to see everything, whether passing or failing any issues, any problems through a single pane of glass that we don't have to click through or adjust as we go forward."
"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 and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The user interface is good."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It is scalable."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"One area I don't like has to do with the agent that goes on the system... if a system stays offline for some length of time, say for a week or so, I may have to go back in and reinstall the agent to get it back in business. I don't know what's causing that."
"A feature I'd like to see would be a more customizable admin console."
"Having the licensing available for partners to be able to take advantage of testing without paying would make a big difference."
"A disaster recovery console would be an improvement for the product."
"This solution is not very good for image restores, mainly just files. The solution also does not allow you to enable or disable backups. Sometimes, our users will connect via mobile device and it will use their data to perform the backup. If they were able to enable and disable the backup, they would not have this issue."
"The recovery side, the restore side, could be a little more optimized."
"There could be a possibility to create a local NAS backup for infrastructure."
"For the MSP side, they could have more of a "security user" that can go in and only see certain clients. If you give somebody access as a technician, they can see all the clients."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"The integration needs improvement."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
