Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Valuable features include Snapshots and the constant backup for SQL, application services, and Active Directory."
"It makes it possible for us to back up our Unix machines without installing a host, client, or any client software. It gives us some peace of mind in regards to those servers getting backed up."
"Vembu provides us with a way to instantly recover data. It offers instant data recovery through a local backup server deployed at the customer's site. We can quickly recover data either by copying it back to the main server or if the backup server is powerful enough, we can also directly start a virtual machine from the backup."
"The main benefit is that it's inexpensive. We get a lot for a little bit of money. I'm very happy with the savings and with the features. It allows me to do everything I need."
"It backs up our virtual machines with the CBT, Changed Block Tracking."
"The most important feature, in terms of the hypervisor, is the ability to restore a virtual machine in a matter of minutes. We can take the backup of a virtual machine and we can restore it to the actual Vembu Backup server as a temporary solution, in a matter of minutes. We can just spin up a VM in no time; different hardware, even different processors. It's pretty dynamic in that sense."
"I enjoy the ease of the UI and how simple it is to use compared to other products."
"It has improved our business continuity."
"Technical support is good."
"If you have windows machine at home and you'd like a backup, you can always download their free edition and plug in an external hard disk, and do a full backup of your laptop."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a VMware environment."
"The initial setup, if it is error-free, is very simple."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"The most valuable feature is application availability, which allows us to monitor all agents and accounts."
"It is good and easy to use for backing up physical servers. It is working fine, and it is stable and scalable."
"The deduplication could be better. It doesn't give the level of deduplication that I would get with a product that's stored in a more standard file format. I would prefer to be able to use a non-deduplicated store on a third-party deduplicated medium."
"There were issues with the implementation because of incompatibilities between the tool implementation and our current VMware installation. So, it was an implementation issue that doesn't allow me to use it for VMware backup in the manner in which we would want to use it. That wasn't clear from the evaluation stage nor was it clear from the first utilization of it because it worked in the environment that it was being evaluated in. Based on that, we went ahead and made the purchase of the full implementation. At that point, it became clear that there would be limitations in that implementation that could not be overcome without doing upgrades to the production environment."
"It is not a well-known software. People do not know about Vembu."
"The support is a bit slow in resolving an issue. It takes a long time to recover."
"We had a lot of problems getting it configured in the first place. They also wanted us to allow them remote access to our machines without us watching what they're doing, which is a huge security risk for us. We said we couldn't do that, and they said they don't offer any phone support whatsoever."
"One thing that I reported with the backups: When there are accentuated characters in a path, then we can't restore documents into a folder. There is a bug with the restoration and restoring files with accentuated characters in the path. Hopefully, they have repaired this because otherwise we will restore files and find out that they are not there."
"I have had issues where it was working and then it stopped and I had to diagnose what had changed or gone wrong to get it back up."
"We have not been able to move our backups from one drive to another one. We can only create a storage pool. However, if we want to change a drive, it is not possible to delete one drive as long there is data on it. For this, we have to call the support. While they can solve this, it is not out-of-the-box."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
"Some customers have Oracle databases and Veeam does support back up of Oracle databases."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation of third party applications added( Like installing WinRar MS Office etc..) , and Firewall for servers."
"With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
