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.

Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"I like all the backup features in Veeam."
"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable."
 

Cons

"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"The solution currently supports only VMware."
"In some cases, the response times could improve, but we haven't had issues with their support."
"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 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."
"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"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."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."
"In the next release I would like to see a bit more intelligence as far as a solution or troubleshooting - to put it more on the level of resolution and not simply identifying there is a problem."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have."
"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
"I don't have an issue with the price of Veeam Backup Replication."
"The product is expensive for small businesses."
