What do you like best about Vinchin Backup & Recovery?

Once the software is installed and configured, the actual functionality is very good. The dashboard is user-friendly as well. There are options for backup, archive, and restore, all in the nicely laid out GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vinchin Backup & Recovery?

The initial setup is a little burdensome, since it needs to be installed on a dedicated Linux flavor server (can be a VM), and some of the first-time configurations can be daunting, for example setting up storage resources in regards to where exactly the backups/archives will take place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vinchin Backup & Recovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's providing a good alternative for backups and restores, compared to other third party tools. I was not aware of the company until recently, so hopefully they'll grow and become more well-known. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vinchin Backup & Recovery?

Unlike other solutions on the market, Vinchin Backup & Recovery is extremely easy to deploy and comes as a lightweight pre-packaged ISO installer. Given the Host server(s) run on Linux and not Windows, the deployment is also simpler and aleviates constantly having to patch Windows and worry about security. A simple cron job takes care of that. The interface is also very user friendly and modern with all the relevant statistical information displayed live and formatted very nicely. I was suprised at how responsive the support was for even the simplest questions and how there is an entire knolegeable team supporting the product 24/7. In terms of features and functionality, it all depends on the license purchased as more options apper the higher the license type. In terms of backup features the solution supports the most popular virtualization platforms like VMware and Proxmax as well as Agent-based backups, own Nas and AWS as well as local storage of all kinds. One can start with a free perpetual license for up to 3 VM's and also test Vinchin's full power using the 60 day trial Enterprise license that unlocks all features, even Office 365 Backups using Azure whereby your Azure ID can be auto-created by Vinchin based on your Microsoft account credentials to simplify deployment. The solution can be used daily manually or setup to be fully automated and it seamlesly integrates with 3rd party solutions. I especially like that the Vinchin team is constantly improving their offering and new versions & revisions are coming out with more and more features all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vinchin Backup & Recovery?

Nothing in software is perfect, so there are quirks in the Vinchin interface that I am sure will be remedied in time but they are not showstoppers by any means. Some of the logic and workflow in the interface may seem strange, but once you get used to it it really is not a big deal. One thing I'd like to see is automatic updates as new versions get released as well as am upgrade to the settings interface to allow for uploading SSL certificates.

What problems is Vinchin Backup & Recovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simplified backup of Virtual machines in VMware utilizing HOTADD Snapshotting as well as supporting exclusion of Independent disks in VM's that would normally prohibit snapshots and force the use of Agents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vinchin Backup & Recovery?

It covery everything you want to do backup. It was very easy to implementing by few click for the installation. It using linux thus you can almost forget the extra window license like other backup software. Additional under linux platform, you may also ignore the window update where may cause the server reboot and missing the backup. Most importance is it have ransomware protection to protect the backup data under the hood so you can almost forget the additional ransomware antivirus for backup server. It also very easy to integrate for majority of the Hypervisor platform like VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, Cirtix, Sangfor, openstack and etc. The customer support also very supportive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vinchin Backup & Recovery?

Missing replilcation feature. If this feature can be in place, then this will be the most perfect backup & recovery software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vinchin Backup & Recovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

When doing planing for backup and restore in disaster recovery(DR) datacenter, normally we need to plan the same hypervisor platform need to be in place for the restoration purpose. Now with Vinchin cross platform, we can plan to using difference hypervisor platform for DR sites which will help to reduce the DR cost. With this feature, we also can do migration from one hypervisor platform to other hypervisor platform. Thus Vinchin help users "open" the lock of the hypervisor platform just like other open platform like OpenWiFi, OpenNetworking and etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
