Good backup retention but it is not a reliable platform and it doesn't giving any sort of alerts that things are not working

StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around 1 to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working. The majority of stuff wasn't backed up, so we really weren't happy with them. That's when we went on the look for a new solution.

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable

The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The backup retention was pretty good. Being able to archive users who had been backed up, is a good functionality. Even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected."

"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."

"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."

"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."

"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."

"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."

Cons

"StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around one to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working."

"The solution could improve the stability."

"The security of encrypted data could be better."

"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."

"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
