We performed a comparison between NetApp AltaVault 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."The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"It's so easy to work with."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The product is free to use. We don't have to pay for a license."
"The interface of this solution is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is application availability, which allows us to monitor all agents and accounts."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
"A full-featured option for managing virtual machines with an instant recovery feature."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and stability of the product."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"It is easy to deploy."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"I would like to see more web support."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"While the Veeam agent is perfect, sometimes the agent doesn't install in Windows."
"It fulfills our needs in terms of features. In terms of improvements, they can maybe improve its documentation."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
"I would like to have more flexibility in terms of reporting details about the backup."
"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
