Comprehensive data protection and reliable backup capabilities enable smooth disaster recovery operations
The features of Quest NetVault Plus ( /products/quest-netvault-plus-reviews ) that are most valuable include the ability to pick up and restore to tape servers and external hard disks. It allows us to pick up from devices and then restore to the same devices or external server storage. Additionally, the application supports scanning files for malware before backup operations.
Edward Hore - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Quest NetVault Plus is quite effective for managing backups across multiple systems because we don't need to log in to the backup server to manage it; it's web-based, so from any system in the network, you can log in and manage everything."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"Quest NetVault Plus has a high level of stability."
"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."
"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."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"All features of Veeam Data Platform, such as backup, immutability, and replication, are highly valuable."
"Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"Veeam ONE is a straightforward solution and compatible with almost all hardware."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"Improvements should come, particularly in compatibility, backup performance, or better troubleshooting."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"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."
"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."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"Its import and export processes for information and policies could be better."
"The product must provide better security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of our 12-month contract is approximately $1,500 AUD ($1,100 USD)."
"When we purchased four licenses, we were given a very good price. However, it is still on the high side when compared to some other vendors."
"The tool is expensive."
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution"
"The price of the solution is high."
"Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
"The cost should be adressed."
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
