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."One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect."
"Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."
"Veeam is easy to use."
"I like all the backup features in Veeam."
"The user interface is good and it is very easy to use."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."
"We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services."
"Technical support is very proactive and helpful."
"They need to address the confusing recovery dialogue."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"The price can be better."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."
"Veeam Backup Replication has agents for Linux, but they are not supporting Cluster Shared Volumes. It would be great to have agents for Linux be cluster-aware, just like the Windows agents. That's the main pain point. In addition, we should be able to handle the automation of Oracle backups from the backup server. We should be able to schedule, control, and deploy them from the backup server rather than relying on scripts and/or the system you are backing up to perform the backup. Currently, we install the plug-in inside Oracle VMs and then use crontabs to handle the task schedule on each machine for scheduling the backups. Veeam Backup Replication should also support the automation of Nutanix backups from the backup server, not from the proxy. The other not so major thing is that they don't support legacy systems because Veeam is a new company. It is not as old as other companies. They don't support physical workloads that are really old, which a major challenge, but they do have a point. Legacy systems should be virtualized, and if they're virtualized, then the backup is not an issue with Veeam, but some customers like the physical setup, and they don't want to have it virtual."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
"VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."
"The automation should be simplified or improved."
"It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."
"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."
