We performed a comparison between Veeam Backup & Replication and Veritas System Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The technical support is good."
"Sandbox feature is like a power tool for troubleshooting."
"The documentation is very good. It's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication."
"The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria."
"It is way easier to take backup with Veeam Backup & Replication than the regular ones."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"You can back up the whole image."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
"Recovery speed is slow. Full recovery on large machines (1TB+) takes too long"
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"They can improve the features and Veeam Enterprise Manager. The interface and features are kind of limited. It would be good if they can provide more features and a better interface. For example, if I want to provide certain users with the privilege to back up and restore and do day-to-day tasks, I cannot do it in the current version. It is like you either give everything to everyone or no user can have access to anything. In version 9, a lot of features were missing, and it wasn't clear. Version 10 is easier from the communication perspective, and the disk backup option is very clear."
"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues. Sometimes during backup, when it's taking the scan snaps on the ESXi, it started and didn't remove the snapshot from there, which consumed storage on the EXSi. It could be improved with more technical depth. The response time for Veeam's technical support could also be improved."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
