Using the app is straightforward with easy buttons to click on.
Customer Service: We didn't contact their customer service at any point because the backup and recovery process is pretty straightforward. But they have a customer support email and phone just in case. Technical Support: CloudAlly can be used by a non-techie person because it's simple. We didn't contact the technical support, but it's available for any user who may encounter a problem.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With this solution, its remarkable to see that ease of use means ease of use."
"Definitely an impressive ROI because the app is inexpensive and saves us time, headaches plus slow computer devices that could be jammed with huge data."
"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
"CloudAlly provides a unique solution for every major email application."
"With a proper configuration of this product we were able to restore the Hyper-V Infrastructure to our 2nd Data Center and restore functionality to about 20 Hospitals and Imaging centers around the state of Ohio."
"It is stable; it is almost fire-and-forget."
"We like Veeam as it is the kind of backup that has basic snapshots, is very useful for us as we have a lot of virtual servers, has special features like replication and different kinds of backup that we can use, and it adapted to our complex network design when other solutions could not, while remaining stable with good performance and strong scalability."
"The standout feature for us is instant recovery."
"Don’t waste your money on Symantec or other tools; buy a license once for Veeam as it's a lifetime one and the support license can be renewed, as required, on a yearly basis."
"Technical support is very effective; they respond quickly, faster than Dell."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"Very reliable and easy to use."
 

Cons

"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"The solution could be improved with easier immutability."
"The cost of adding additional sockets. It was a lot more than just purchasing an additional agent like you would for Backup Exec or StorageCraft."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"There are some features that are lacking compared to other backup solutions, specifically around the use of tape libraries, and this is the largest area for improvement."
"When you have to renew the licenses you sometimes have some trouble getting rid of the old one and reassigning it to the new one. That's an aspect that could run smoother and could be better."
"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."
"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a five."
"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."
"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."
"It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
