Offers features like Master Snapshot which are useful for recovering files and easy to use if you are familiar with familiar with NAS things and networking protocols

If you're considering Panzura, I'd actually recommend looking into DDN products. They're very stable. In fact, they're launching Infinea, which is totally cloud-based and uses Lambda and Kubernetes. It's a very good product. If you have basic IT concepts, it's very easy to understand. But if you're not familiar with NAS things and networking protocols like SMB or Linux, then it might be a bit difficult for new users. Linux understanding is very important to use Panzura. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. Master Snapshot feature is the only exceptional feature, but the rest of the features are similar to other storage solutions.

Offers enhanced security through encryption and high stability

In terms of backup installation and business continuity, VM has been invaluable. There was a time when we had an issue with one of our systems, and Veeam became unavailable. This particular Azure machine is utilized in about six or seven countries. All I had to do was log into my Veeam account in that location, activate the Continuity and Recovery (CR) feature, and everyone could resume working. It involved changing the IP address or the capabilities of the application server since the assessment is based on the application server's availability in another location. The IP addresses would vary. So, I informed the application department to make the necessary modifications, and they immediately restarted the system for use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its most valuable features are the collaboration, the file snapshots, and the data protection the solution provides."

"The main thing in Panzura is that there are three key components: PanFS, NAS, and collaboration. These are strong features, and a big benefit is that you can access everything from anywhere."

"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."

"The solution offers the normal benefits of a virtual machine versus a physical, actual machine. It doesn't take up space, for example."

"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are efficient backup and replication. Additionally, Veeam Backup Replication supports all products and vendors."

"The backups we have been receiving from Veeam Backup Replication on-premise have been good."

"I think the interface is straightforward"

"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."

"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."

"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."

Cons

"Master Snapshot feature is the only exceptional feature, but the rest of the features are similar to other storage solutions."

"It should be easy for people not on the network to connect and access their files."

"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."

"There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space."

"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."

"The integration with other solutions should be improved."

"The reporting feature can be improved."

"The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability."

"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."

"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December. They have changed the way the product is licensed, and there is a lot of confusion. Sometimes, when a new version comes, it seems that it has not been tested enough because I usually find some bugs in it. It could also have more integration with other virtualization products, such as desktop virtualization products and open-source virtualization products."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is on the expensive side."

"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."

"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."

"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."

"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."

"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."

"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."

"Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment."

"The cost should be adressed."

Reviews from Real Users

Veeam Backup & Replication is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ease of set up, the fact that it is agentless, and that it has an intuitive dashboard.

A Network Operations Manager at an educational organization says, "Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."

An Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company mentions, “I like that it's agent-less, easy to set up, and hardware-agnostic.”

An Account Manager at a tech services company states, “The dashboard is very, very easy to understand. We do demonstrations all the time with customers just to show them. If they've lost particular files because of a server going down, we can retrieve those files for them and quickly bring those files back up.”

Kerem C., Director of Professional Services/Senior Solution Architect/Trainer at a tech services company, explains, “It's good for backup performance management and backup window management.”
