We performed a comparison between Quest Rapid Recovery and Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The local mount utility is most valuable. I do restores fairly regularly. Thankfully, I have not ever lost an entire server that I've had to resurrect, but I certainly have people who erroneously saved over a file or have deleted a file. So, we've done that quite a bit. We still have the DL4000 appliance, and we had, kind of, extrapolated that out over a five-year period. Now, we're in year six, so we had to add storage, which we did as a SAN next to DL4000, but prior to adding in that extra storage, we, here and there, would run into situations where for whatever reason, it would want to be pulling a new base image, and then we would run out of storage. So, we would utilize the archive feature and archive the old data that we want to hang on to, but we don't necessarily need it taking up current data storage. Being able to export out really old data is most valuable to us. Then, we just store that on a NAS that we keep in another building."
"Not having to switch tapes is wonderful. It makes it so easy. We have an on-prem deployment that we also replicate to an offsite replication host. So by not having to deal with tapes and moving them off-site every day and every week, that's amazing ease of use for us."
"The solution offers a 100% guarantee that if it's backed up you will be able to restore it onto any platform you want."
"One feature I found that's the most valuable in Quest Rapid Recovery is the VM standby feature which is very useful for my current customer. The solution also has a great replication feature. The third most valuable feature in Quest Rapid Recovery is the five-minute RPO and the fifteen-minute RTO. The solution is also very user-friendly."
"Probably the point-in-time recovery is most valuable. The other piece that is really nice is that you can mount a whole server at any point in time. So, you can mount the server with all the drives to a Z drive or something like that. It will just mount it all up, and your data is accessible right there on one drive, which is nice."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to back up a physical server to another physical or virtual server."
"Built-in encryption helps to secure our data as it travels from our on-site server to our off-site backup server."
"The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"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."
"It's simple to use."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It's stable and reliable."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"It is quite surprising to me that the configuration cannot be backed up automatically, and I think that Rapid Recovery should have an option for scheduled configuration backup."
"In case, if there is anything, it would be the speed of the operation to be finished. Even then, I can easily work on the storing function before the operation is finished."
"When you do a full backup, all of the memory resources on the server are used, which is something that should be improved."
"One area where Quest Rapid Recovery has room for improvement is in the handling of snapshots on Hyper-V."
"I don't really think that there is a whole lot that needs to be changed. It would be nice if you could deploy the agent without having to reboot. When I upgraded my core to the latest version, I also wanted to update all of my servers, but I had to put that off because I can't just shoot it out there. I have to make sure it is at a time when I can do a reboot right away."
"You can only take a snapshot from a virtual environment. It should have the ability to take snapshots from both a virtual and physical environment."
"For the most part, it is really good in terms of flexibility and choice of recovery methods. What we found lacking was being able to back up virtual volumes that are clustered. We ran out of luck there. There should be an option for backing up clustered virtual volumes."
"The terminology didn't seem easily available. When I go to the website, it is hard to search for things. You get all the articles, then you finally get the search button. They need the search at the top of the knowledge base. Then, on occasion, if you get an error message in the system, which is very important, it says, "Click here for more information," but I never get more information. The search engine doesn't find it or it is some weird error. It has never worked for me."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"It could use deduplication features."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
