We performed a comparison between Veeam Backup & Replication and VMware Cloud Disaster 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 initial setup was very easy."
"The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"This is easy to use with a simple restore feature."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well."
"One of the standout features of Veeam Backup & Replication is its exceptional restore capability, enabling users to recover their data seamlessly. Another valuable functionality is the automated verification of backup restorations, made possible through the Sure Backup feature. The software boasts numerous other noteworthy features that offer immense value, including the NAS backup feature."
"The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services."
"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."
"Technical support is very proactive and helpful."
"We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."
"Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"I would like for them to develop the ability to fix the way it does backups. We can't pick a backup for one database. We have to do a backup on the whole Exchange VM. I'd like for them to change it to where we can do individual backups."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."
"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient."
"The improvements should be as per customer requirements."
"It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."
"VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."
"The automation should be simplified or improved."
