We performed a comparison between N-able Cove Data Protection and Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."We use a neat feature called VDR status, Virtual Disaster Recovery status. It only works on servers... It's automated. Once or twice a month it will virtually mount the backup and provide a screenshot and advise whether or not there have been any errors."
"The most valuable feature by far is the Virtual Disaster Recovery. On top of that is the bare-metal recovery. The recovery options that we have are great. We have tested the Virtual Disaster Recovery and the bare-metal recovery in just about any scenario you can think of. We have even restored bare metal, a full server, to a laptop, and had full functionality. It's just insane how well it works and how simple it is. It does most of the work for you."
"The monitoring makes it very easy to check whether a backup has gone bad."
"The most valuable aspect is the added protection of having a cloud-based backup service. It provides redundancy in case of data loss."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"What I like the most about it's the ease of use and the reliability that it has when copying information to the cloud."
"It is good and easy to use for backing up physical servers. It is working fine, and it is stable and scalable."
"Solution provides good security."
"The user interface is good. It provides a lot of information."
"The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is easy to use and performing a recovery is easy to do."
"Veeam helps to create a stable environment with virtual servers."
"Veeam is very user-friendly and intuitive software."
"Technical support is good."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"An area for improvement that would really work out well would be if there were a little bit more of an elegant handshake relationship between SolarWinds RMM and the PCs that are being backed up, to advise regarding "up" status... Since RMM is an agent that feeds back that a machine is alive and on, I don't see any reason why they can't either tap into that one feature or build the same exact polling within the backup agent, to update right away and say the system is online or offline."
"Integration with a hybrid cloud is something that I found complicated."
"We don't use the solution’s automated recovery testing because SolarWinds made me cross. When they released it, I went, "Oh, well, that's quite good." Because if you use the system, then it supposedly spins up, and on the portal, it gives you a screenshot of the booted device. So, I phoned up, and I said, "Oh, that's really quite cool. How much is that?" They said, "No, no, no. It's all included in your license." I went, "Okay then," and went and deployed it on about half the fleet. One of the options that our customers have is they can pay us a small amount every month for us to test the recovery just to prove that it's viable, and I thought, "Well, this will do that for us. Nice." Then, in the next invoice, we got a charge for it. While It was not a huge amount, I took offense at the fact that we were told that it would be a no extra cost option that was part of our license, but it turns out that it's chargeable. Therefore, we haven't used it since."
"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."
"The recovery side, the restore side, could be a little more optimized."
"A disaster recovery console would be an improvement for the product."
"For small amounts of data, recovery is easy, but when it's large amounts of data, it takes forever. So, if they can have a service where they put our data on a hard drive and ship it to us as fast as possible, it would be great. Even if there's a fee associated with it, it's fine."
"There could be a possibility to create a local NAS backup for infrastructure."
"While the Veeam agent is perfect, sometimes the agent doesn't install in Windows."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive."
"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement."
"We can't use tape for primary storage on Veeam."
"Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
