Comet Backup vs Veeam Data Platform: Which is a better fit?

Sergi S

CTO

I was impressed by the ease of use of the server, how to deploy agents and how easy was to extract information from the server to report to our users how the backup was protecting their information.

Storage vaults is bit confusing. Local vault and UNC file might have a problem connecting.

I like that it's pretty customizable and the one time I did contact support, they were friendly and helpful. It's just worked since I got it installed.

The scheduling part and performance when using the Comet Server as storage destination are some of the parts where we struggle the most with.

The ability to self-host the server out of a docker container and scale it in our existing compute resources (Kubernetes) is an excellent option that we take advantage of.

The interface is a little confuse, paths to the options are not directly.

The pricing is very fair for a product like this and I love that you can brand the client to look and feel like your business.

Reporting is a bit weak if a customer sked for a report on their backups.

Be sure to review the licensing models to pick what is best for your organization as they even have a Free Edition with limitations. Support is top notch with this product and very responsive.

Also its error troubleshooting is complicated.

The pricing (much to my surprise, which is why I resisted for a while) was very good and even better that competitors.

Backup failed sometimes. Suggesting use another encryption technique.

Veeam is very friendly, simple and intuitive interface, always available help, many kb present, comprehensive messages and overall reliable system.

The new licensing model is difficult to migrate to for those customers on STD and ENT existing agreements.

IT Systems Supervisor

This is an excellent backup solution. We struggled before this product and are thankful that we found something that is so easy to manage and maintain.

As we've migrated from mostly in-premise to the cloud, we have continued to use other products in the suite for business continuity and disaster recovery.
