Carbonite Server vs Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] comparison

"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."

"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."

"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."

"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."

"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."

"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."

"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."

"It hasn't given us any issues so far."

"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."

"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."

"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."

"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."

"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."

"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."

"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."

"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."

"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."

"The solution could improve the stability."

"The security of encrypted data could be better."

"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."

"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."

"Its price is reasonable."

"The solution is open source."

"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."

"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
