A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup

The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

Cons

"We need more options for the backup schedule."

"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."

"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."

"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."

"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."

"Veeam ONE should improve its UI."

"There might be room for improvement at the plugin level, specifically concerning application plugins."

"It's not that easy to use from the management side."

"It would be nice to see more affordable training options for individuals who want to enhance their skills. Some people I know have been interested in training courses, but they found them too expensive."

"Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers."

"The patching can be quite difficult at times."

"The navigation of menus can be difficult to find what you're looking for sometimes."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."

"The solution could also be cheaper."

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."

"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."

"For now, I think the pricing of Veeam ONE is quite okay for any of the infrastructures, especially for those who want a backup system and a tool that provides monitoring services."

"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."

"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."

"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."

"The changes in pricing have been an interesting aspect. It seems to have become pricier, resulting in a reduction in affordability. There are extra expenses involved, including hardware requirements and the procurement of operating system licenses, which must also be taken into account. I would rate the price seven out of ten."

"It is more expensive than other solutions."

"I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category."
