Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.5
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery offers cost-effective solutions with seamless integration, though snapshot storage costs may challenge smaller businesses.
Sentiment score
7.5
Veeam Data Platform enhances efficiency and cost-effectiveness by reducing management time, storage needs, and improving scalability and reliability.
However, with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Service being a native service, integration is seamless, highlighting the return on investment.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.0
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery support is praised for responsiveness, effectiveness, and enterprise-level assistance, though a formal ticket system is desired.
Sentiment score
7.4
Veeam Data Platform's support team is highly praised for responsiveness, with minor issues noted in escalation and response times.
In case of any issue, they are ready to provide support within the defined SLA timeline.
The escalation from first, second to third tier is sometimes very long-lasting, but the resolve rate is quite high.
I would rate their technical support a 10 out of 10.
Most cases are handled perfectly.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is highly scalable, with efficient automation, easy upgrades, and strong user confidence in its scalability.
Sentiment score
7.5
Veeam Data Platform is highly scalable and adaptable, suitable for diverse enterprises but may have licensing cost implications.
It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is reliable, though dependent on bandwidth, with occasional agent resets on Linux and cost concerns.
Sentiment score
7.8
Veeam Data Platform is highly reliable with minimal issues, praised for stability, quick issue resolution, and regular performance updates.
It is very good and very reliable.
AWS is not difficult, but the cost associated with replicating data to another region can be significant.
There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery needs automation, integration, cost optimization, user enhancements, and improved documentation for better efficiency and user-friendliness.
Veeam Data Platform needs better physical server support, cost optimization, and enhanced integration with storage, cloud, and user features.
This would detail user activity directly in the ACL console for easier debugging and auditing.
In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status.
Additional features expected in the next release to make it even better, most parts are on the way, and the AI integration should be improved.
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
 

Setup Cost

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as fair value with cost-saving options, though cumulative and alternative costs should be evaluated.
Veeam Data Platform is competitively priced, offers straightforward licensing, and is valued for extensive features and ease of management.
I believe it is not expensive; it's the regular price.
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
 

Valuable Features

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery provides cost-effective, scalable data protection and seamless integration, enhancing reliability, flexibility, and ease of deployment.
Veeam Data Platform ensures data protection with easy management, fast recovery, security, and advanced features for IT environments.
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Service is a native service, integration is seamless.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with.

Featured Reviews

Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
