StorageCraft ShadowXafe [EOL] vs Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] comparison

"The most valuable feature is the backups."

"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."

"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."

"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."

"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."

"It's simple to use."

"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."

"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."

"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."

"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."

"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."

"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."

"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."

"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."

"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."

"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."

"Technical support could be improved."

"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."

"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."

"They are more expensive than some of the others out there. We have gone away from their cloud due to pricing."

"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."

"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."

"Licensing costs are monthly."

"The costing is very competitive."

"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."

"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."

"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
