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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."

"It's the easiest way to configure it."

"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."

"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."

"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."

"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."

"I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs."

"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are it is easy to use and manage."

"Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer."

"All features of Veeam Data Platform, such as backup, immutability, and replication, are highly valuable."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

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."

"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."

"Sometimes the solution give reports that are confusing and has errors. So the integration of the full solution with the resolution of resolving the error should be added in the next release.The solution should also provide more customization, automation, better documentation."

"Some of the best practice documentation could be improved."

"I have also been struggling with the storage and in some cases I need to move things due to performance."

"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."

"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."

"The pricing could be better."

"The product must improve its performance."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the solution's maintenance and support."

"It is relatively cheap."

"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."

"The cost is expensive. It will depend on how you are managing your environment, your requirements, and if you can easily manage a license. It's not that difficult, so you can manage it, but the cost is high, so you need to check directly with Veeam as well as the local partner so you can get the discount prices."

"Several licensing schemes are available."

"The price is quite fair."

"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."

"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."

"We pay for a license to use this solution, and we recommend that our customers pay for a license and a renewal license."
