Chose Veeam Data Platform
Originally, our organization used to use Symantec Backup Exec which was very time consuming, confusing and cumbersome to for me and my staff to use. When taking over another company's infrastructure, they had used Carbonite to backup their physical servers. Again, the software …

At the time we started using Veeam, there was only one other applicable competitor, and I cannot remember the name of it anymore. I think it was Qwest or something like that. We also concurrently run ArcServe and ShadowProtect. Veeam now has features available so that we can …

I have only used Veeam from the start. It was recommended by my vendor. I reviewed all products available at the time, prior to making the decision to go with Veeam. There are other good products out there, but I think Veeam is absolutely the best!

We use Arcserver for our physical server or drive partition backup. But it's not stable. Once in a while, it has alarms stating the data tranasferring to its destination has problem. We spent much time on this, but it still happens. Furthermore, the switch between the primary …

I was not involved in the evaluation, but my understanding from colleagues was that the years of experience in VMware vs. Hyper-V were very evident. VMware vCenter was simply a much more mature product.

Citrix Xen Server.... Great Hypervisor but very limited in terms of functionality
MS Hyper-V... [VMware vCenter Server] is better for almost everything and appliance form makes a clear winner for security and ease of deployment

VMware vCenter Server's biggest competitor is Microsoft's Hyper-V Server. We prefer VMware vCenter Server because the hypervisor is much less resource intensive. It also gives us a different environment so that a specific Microsoft bug wouldn't take down all of our VMs if the …

[VMware vCenter Server] is the true leader in this space. The functionality and ability to offload tasks to other teams makes this a no brainer. The granularity in permission allows [VMware vCenter Server] to be secure and isolate teams to only the objects they are allowed to …

We considered Microsoft Hyper-V very briefly. At the time we considered Hyper-V you still needed to purchase an extra management product to get features similar to vCenter; and even then, it didn't seem fully baked, yet. The situation may, and probably has changed, with later …

Our desktop team uses Citrix XenApp for remote connectivity of our employees. However, this environment runs on our VMware vSphere hosts which are managed by VMware vCenter Server. :) XenApp was never considered to replace VMware vCenter Server or our vSphere hosts.

I have used Microsoft Hyper-V at a previous employment. It was good in those situations of a small batch of servers. Hyper-V is relatively easy to manage and can use Powershell scripting for management and control. In larger deployments, like we have currently, Hyper-V …

It feels like other hypervisors are either trying to catch up to VMware or filling a smaller niche that VMware may be too broad to fill. VMware continues to bring the newest features and improvements and it's hard to compare any other hypervisor as long as VMware continues to …

Honestly it made no sense to look elsewhere since vCenter is an integral component of VMware and designed and supported but he same team. We need to ensure business operational continuity and did not want to end up in a finger pointing contest with a 3rd party product.
