Offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites
It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites. It also provides IP address management when network configurations differ across sites.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."
"The generalization of the journals allows us to go back in time and choose the snapshot suitable for us. We can grab it as needed."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"I think Veeam ONE is great as it is, it does everything I need."
"Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance."
"The user interface is good and it is very easy to use."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"The solution currently supports only VMware."
"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 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."
"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."
"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 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 the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
"The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December. They have changed the way the product is licensed, and there is a lot of confusion. Sometimes, when a new version comes, it seems that it has not been tested enough because I usually find some bugs in it. It could also have more integration with other virtualization products, such as desktop virtualization products and open-source virtualization products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive product."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"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."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"On a one to ten scale, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as a five out of ten."
"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
"The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"This is an expensive solution and came at a higher cost than expected."
"It is more cost-effective than some of the other solutions, but a lot of that comes down to the fact that we're a reseller. So, depending upon the deal, we do negotiate different price points for different customers. The price varies depending upon the size of the customer, the size of the deal, and the discounts we can negotiate."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
