Veeam ONE

we had Veeam before purchasing NAKIVO Backup & Replication back in 2019. Veeam was too complicated for us and needed agents to operate. Also the price was higher than that of NAKIVO Backup & Replication. Meanwhile NAKIVO Backup & Replication is agentless. It uses SSH to connect to the transport VMs that take the backup. The connection to the transporter is also secure. This automatically creates a smaller attack surface to your critical machines as agents can get compromised. this is something that is great if you are in the financial industry like us. Also i have to say it. The NAKIVO Backup & Replication support team is super friendly and super good. They always respond within an hour at max.
