A stable and scalable solution that helps protect our virtual machines
We encourage customers to use this solution if they have two sites. For example, an HQ and a disaster recovery site. The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side. We suggest the customer makes a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"Sandbox feature is like a power tool for troubleshooting."
"The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations."
"This is very user-friendly."
"It's scalable."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"The initial setup was very easy."
 

Cons

"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"The web interface could be more visual."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"The initial setup was not straightforward at all."
"The integration with other solutions should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"This is an expensive product."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"The solution's pricing is cheap."
"The cost should be adressed."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors."
"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."
"They could work at providing a better price."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
