Rainer Kummerfeldt - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to work and offers features for tape backups, disk backups, and whatever you want
NovaStor NovaBACKUP is still working on new features because they listen to the customers and integrate their needs into new versions. You can see they make progress with each new version. They are much faster than IBM, where you sometimes have to wait years for new features. It is very quick and fast. NovaStor have big competitors like Veeam, which is very fast and aggressive. It's good, but it depends on the price. I think NovaStor might be cheaper. They have a direct connection to their developers and sales teams, which makes getting answers very fast. Veeam has a lot of features, like a special reporting tool. However, I've heard from some customers that Veeam wasn't always the right decision because it couldn't work with their environment. But Veeam has aggressive marketing, which is why they are probably in first place at the moment, besides Commvault. IBM has lost its competitive edge and is trying to catch up, but it might be too late.

Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's the easiest way to configure it."
"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"I think the interface is straightforward"
"It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors."
"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"The solution is quite stable."
 

Cons

"The price of NovaStor NovaBACKUP is an area that can be considered as a weakness or drawback, where improvements are required."
"The room for improvement lies in the compatibility of NovaBACKUP with older operating systems."
"Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"The navigation of menus can be difficult to find what you're looking for sometimes."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
"The threshold could be easier to configure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the solution's maintenance and support."
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
"The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"Pricing is not the cheapest, but you get a lot of value for your money."
"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"Although our license includes support, we have only really used the support when we were using Veeam for Active Directory. The rest of the time, we find Veeam easy enough to use without paying extra support fees."
"We have a yearly perpetual license."
"Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
