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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability has always been very good."

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

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

"The solution has good scalability."

"The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery. It is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV. It's a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal."

"All features of Veeam Data Platform, such as backup, immutability, and replication, are highly valuable."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that its reports are detailed compared to other tools."

"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."

"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."

"For virtualization it's perfect."

"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

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

"We need more options for the backup schedule."

"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."

"The solution could improve the performance. We are not able to check the status of any system. Additionally, if there was an option to monitor server clusters it would be helpful."

"The pricing could be better."

"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."

"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."

"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."

"The initial setup was not straightforward at all."

"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. It could integrate with automation services to automatically resolve identified issues rather than simply providing instructions to the user."

"The initial setup is complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."

"The solution could also be cheaper."

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."

"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."

"Veeam Backup Replication has a lot of free features. We have a mixture of the paid versions as well as the community version. They are really helpful to us."

"The product is expensive."

"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."

"Its price is reasonable for a big company or a big client. It is not too much. It is cheaper than VMware."

"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."

"Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing."

"Its pricing is really good."
