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.

Efficient for data protection and simple to use
For data recovery, we do some tests. We haven't had any problems yet. The tests we've done work fine. For me, it's perfect. We don't have any problems with backups and applications. Immutability is the most important aspect of data protection in terms of Veeam Data Platform. That could be one…

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."
"Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure."
"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration."
"I have found the backup call feature very good."
"The solution just works consistently. I never have issues with it."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"The most beneficial aspect of Veeam ONE is the ability to track your company's growth on a month-to-month basis. With this tool, you can determine if you need to purchase more target storage or if you have enough. This is essential for budgeting purposes, as, without this information, you may discover too late that you require additional storage or that your cloud usage is not aligning with what you are being charged. Veeam ONE aids in forecasting and usage analysis, making it a valuable asset."
"Replication is most valuable."
"The most valuable aspect is its reliability in recovering any replaceable data in the event of server issues in a production environment."
 

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."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups or snapshots. That's a nice functionality that Veeam doesn't have."
"The solution is rather weak when it comes to database integration."
"They need to address the confusing recovery dialogue."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"The threshold could be easier to configure."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the solution's maintenance and support."
"Veeam ONE is offered at a good price."
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"Veeam ONE is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"The solution is expensive, but it's value for money."
"We purchase a license annually."
"Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment."

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…
