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

"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."
"The speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"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 integration of Veeam Backup Replication is very good."
"Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs."
"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are it is easy to use and manage."
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
 

Cons

"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."
"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"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."
"The solution currently supports only VMware."
"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."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."
"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"The product must provide better security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive product."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"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."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."
"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."
"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."
"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."
"Veeam ONE is offered at a good price."
"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
