Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."

"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"In Veeam backup, the most valuable feature for me is the recovery. It allows me to recover almost immediately while I continue fixing the problem of the affected machine."
"Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"I have a problem with the VM. When we started doing a backup, it takes a snapshot for our virtual machines, but when we try it two or three times, in some cases, our virtual machines go to a consolidated state. I don't know why this problem happens. But I still think Veeam is a top-ranking solution."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"Its import and export processes for information and policies could be better."
