We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files.""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 flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly.""The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly.""The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward.""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.""What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."

Cons
"They could be more customer-friendly.""I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server.""There is a compatibility issue with HCI.""The pricing could be lowered if possible.""We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process.""In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud.""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.""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."

"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly.""Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature.""The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation.""Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks.""Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives.""Veritas NetBackup Appliance can improve by having a more direct connection to the cloud. It should have the technology to be able to directly communicate with the cloud.""The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic.""Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
