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

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

"The most valuable feature is the backups."

"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."

"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 flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."

"It's stable and reliable."

"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 most valuable feature is the instant restore option."

"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 technical support is good."

"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."

"They could be more customer-friendly."

"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."

"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."

"The integration needs improvement."

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

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."

"Technical support could be improved."

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

"Price-wise it's good."

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

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

"The costing is very competitive."

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

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

"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."

"Licensing costs are monthly."
