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.

Pros

"The solution has good scalability."

"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."

"The stability has always been very good."

"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."

"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."

"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."

"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."

"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration."

"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."

"Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs."

"The solution is quite stable."

"The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"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."

"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."

"We need more options for the backup schedule."

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

"Pricing can be improved."

"Veeam currently lacks features for backing up to network-attached storage. Veeam Backup & Replication agents do not support S3 storage. Only Veeam Backup & Replication server supports S3 storage."

"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."

"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."

"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."

"I've never considered what improvements Veeam needs, and I haven't asked our customers if there is any room for improvement. As the manager, I only see the reports."

"The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP."

"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."

"The solution could also be cheaper."

"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."

"The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."

"We have a yearly perpetual license."

"Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that."

"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."

"The solution provides flexible licensing options."

"I find the pricing to be okay."

"Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution"
