Reliable and User-Friendly Backup Solution

5.0 4 weeks ago New

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.

Cons:

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

Great Integration Options

5.0 7 months ago

Pros:

I recently started using Vinchin for my backup and disaster recovery needs, and I'm thrilled with its flexibility. One of the standout features is the platform integration; it seamlessly supports various hypervisors like VMware, Hyper-V, ZStack, and XenServer. This makes it incredibly easy to manage backups across my diverse infrastructure without having to switch between different tools. This level of versatility is exactly what I was looking for, and it's made my backup management much more streamlined and efficient. Highly recommended!

Cons:

I only wished all the platforms are included in the Standard License, but for platforms like ZStack, you need to use the Enterprise license.

Very efficient backup tool with good price

5.0 2 years ago

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

5.0 2 years ago

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

4.0 3 years ago

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

4.0 2 years ago

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.

Reliable backup tool for Hyper-v

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: So far, so good. But it'd be so great if vinchin supports backup to cloud because I prefer multiple safety guarantees.

Pros:

I love the easy setup, smart backup and fast recovery. And their customer service responds promptly. The features I liked most are the fast and smart backup, the thoughtful offsite backup copy for DR, and file-level recovery. Why? cause that's why I chose vinchin. They have many subline technologies for supporting these features, like data deduplication and data compression.

Cons:

So far, so good. But it'd be so great if vinchin supports backup to cloud because I prefer multiple safety guarantees.
