Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one.""It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us.""The interface is very user-friendly.""The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes.""The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want.""The user interface is good.""Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great.""If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."

"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution.""The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup.""The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward.""It is scalable.""What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management.""The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on.""I like the incremental backups and their failover.""The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."

Cons
"The stability of the solution is poor.""The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find.""The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement.""I would like to see the option of cloud-based management.""There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency.""There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily.""The storage capacity is very low.""The initial setup is a little complex."

More Quest NetVault Cons →

"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network.""In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location.""There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible.""More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution.""One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra.""It could use deduplication features.""They could be more customer-friendly.""In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
