We performed a comparison between Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"It's stable and reliable."
"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."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"Once the solution is integrated with the Exchange, you just click Exchange to back up that file."
"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"It is responding very well, and its performance is good. It has a lot of options. For backup, you can connect it to a cloud or a physical hard drive. They also provide an API for integration with different platforms and products. However, we have not integrated it with another product."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"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."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"The integration needs improvement."
"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."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
"A web console would be great because nowadays a lot of products are web-based and you can access the console from various environments. So I would recommend bringing this feature in the next solution."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"The price of this solution is very high."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
