I had a warning message with the M365 backup and wanted to know what was affected, but each time I got the message, report has expired.
Also, sometimes the repository disables itself, which prevents backups, but there is no way to understand why this happens.

Clear and easy to use GUI. Favorable prices for licenses.
Cons:
Errors cannot be traced and no SQL backup possible.

So far, in our usage, I haven't found any negative points.
Reliable and User-Friendly Backup Solution
Comments: Overall, Vinchin offers solid, friendly backup solutions. It supports multiple environments (physical, virtual, cloud) and provides efficient features. There are some drawbacks such as ransomware detection. Despite these, it is a reliable and flexible option for most data protection needs.
Pros:
What I like most about Vinchin is its combination of ease of use, flexibility, and costs. The product supports physical, virtual, and cloud environments, and offers efficient backup options like incremental backups and compression.

Unlike some other backup platforms, Vinchin doesn't include ransomware detection or immutable backup, which are becoming more critical in today's cybersecurity solutions.

I've experienced seamless backups and quick recovery times, which significantly enhances my workflow. Customer support has been responsive and very helpful whenever I had questions.

One of the best reliable solution

Compatibility with older versions but still provides agent solution
Alternatives Considered:
Great software with unique funtionalities.

The mos important is that we can backup vmware VM´s and Citrix VDI with the same backup software, not all the softwares have this funtionality with a low price.

A Robust and Reliable Data Backup Solution.
Pros:
In general, the tool performs exceptionally well. I tested each functionality thoroughly and was impressed by the ease of use and resilience of the product.

Vinchin Backup & Recovery
Comments: Excellent
Pros:
Great Experience and good product. As well as a very quick response to all my questions. Have been looking for a single product to replace a few different backup products for different hypervisors.

Nothing at all
Disruption and ease to use

compatibility with instant restore hyper-v vm

Soft backup tool

This we can implement on linux server which one is the best ever. Downloading and installation are very easy. Backup job configuration are easy also, Restoration is easy.

Very efficient backup tool with good price
Comments: We have 100 Xenserver vms run on our environment, given the popularity of Xenserver, it's not difficult to find a reliable backup vendor, but what stumps us is a comprhensive one with resonable price and reasurring protection guarantee. Vinchin happens to be the one fits our standards. Bitdetector, node expansion and data deduplication, all these technologies save a lot space and cost for us, not to mention the archive to cloud and offsite backup copy features, they can be strong support against disasters and accidents. And another one we choose it because Vinchin charges reasonably.
Pros:
Vinchin has flexible installation options as a physical or virtual machine, the ease of deployment, and reliable backup strategies, all of them make it works really great with Xenserver. I like the agentless and lan-free backup for there's more reqiurement for agent and that makes things easier. But best of all, its customizable backup jobs would do everything it can to save storage and speed the whole process up. And the instant recovery is trully amazing, I like it very much.
Cons:
I have no negative comments about Vinchin solution, which works well for us. But it would be good if they have gfs retention policy.
Best backup tool ever
Pros:
Vinchin is the easiest yet most powerful and productive backup software I've ever used. The informative and simple management UI interface catches my eyes when I first use it. So I immediately started to test the features since every feature seems to be easy to find and config. Turns out it runs just as expected. The intelligent backup strategies with optional time scheduling. It's definitely the best backup tool ever.
Cons:
There is really nothing to dislike as of now for virtual machine backup. Yet I would like to have OS backup option if possible.
The perfect compromise to backup a mixed Virtual environment
Comments: We have been using Vinchin for 2 months and we are very satisfied .. We would probably need more training videos on specific type of hypervisors. But the overall experience is great...
Pros:
- The ability to manage different type of Hypervisor - The web Visualization interface ( The most beautiful visual Monitoring interface I have seen ).. - The features offered ... - The performance and the simplicity of the backup process -- And definitely the update process directly from the web console .
Cons:
- Still some improvement to do in the "File backup management" ( not flexible enough ) - Admin cannot interact with file backup agents directly...
Simple, Easy, Maximum Efficiency
Comments: Our tests are currently ongoing. I can say that the first experience was excellent. Finally, I am still in the discovery phase, as we have also received training on this subject.
Pros:
I met Vinchin this year and a friend recommended it. I had some trouble with the first installation, but that may be my inexperience. In the ongoing process, I had a great experience, especially with online support. The most excellent feature compared to other competitors is the addition of virtual servers and machines in a very short time. Also you have a very simple panel for backup.
Cons:
The initial setup phase is quite difficult and complex. This area can be further developed.
Usuabilty
Pros:
Reliability Various Storage Options Speed restrictions
Cons:
Changes in Vinchin VM needs a new license key even when adding an additional network card. Cannot look for updates - information needed I guess
OLVM backup Solution
Comments: With Vinchin we have solved OLVM backups, there's no other solution that can do math vinchin do in OLVM
Pros:
Is the only solution that really works with OLVM, the compression ratio is high and help to save storage cost, easy to administer, easy to use, easy to restore, have a nice console.
Cons:
is a litttle bit hard to implement wit OLVM, but support team is there for help you with it.
The best backup solution to RHV/oVirt
Comments: This software was the best that do the complete backup in my environment(oVirt). the restore is wonderful. I really happy with this software.
Pros:
Its easily to configure , the backup and restore is very fast. the sale team is the best team that I already worked and the support is really fast and they do a good job.
Cons:
nothing, this software is really good, and your team is really nice.
