Optimized cloud costs and automated right‑sizing have reduced spend while reporting needs improvement
The best features Densify offers are actionable optimization recommendations, which tell you how to reduce costs while maintaining performance; the ML-powered predictive analytics feature, which considers historical patterns to provide recommendations; multi-cloud coverage for optimization across AWS, Azure, and GCP; and a solid balance between performance and cost. Out of those features, I find myself relying on actionable optimization recommendations and predictive analytics features the most because Densify goes one step beyond by providing recommendations considering historical patterns, especially for workloads that only spike during certain times of the month. Densify has positively impacted my organization by providing significant cost savings through right-sizing and eliminating inefficient resources, allowing faster decisions based on data, and reducing manual intervention for cloud operations, thus providing automation of basic cloud routines. I usually see a twenty-five to thirty percent cost saving in my customer's environment, and from a time-saving perspective, it has almost halved the time of the operations team.

Continuous replication and backup simplify customer service across enterprises of any size
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication. We utilize these features for management and the customers we serve. Veeam Data Platform provides features such as immutability and ransomware protection. While we use other applications for ransomware protection, we rely on Veeam Data Platform for encryption.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Control Console is an incredible way to give a quick view of current capacity utilization allowing technical people to drill down quickly and allowing business/management people to get a quick overview of the environment."
"I usually see a twenty-five to thirty percent cost saving in my customer's environment, and from a time-saving perspective, it has almost halved the time of the operations team."
"From my perspective, this product is really good, and we are not even using each and every feature."
"The solution's tech support is excellent."
"The ability to increase server density inside of my environment, which has helped me drive reduction in costs."
"The tool will come back and tell us that we can operate with 1,000 minutes as an example, save 90% on the contractual rate and not run into any issues."
"I would say that the initial thing is that it provides us with a technological basis to expand capacity management beyond Excel."
"This product has provided us with a more comprehensive solution that is now replacing nearly all other tools which were previously used in the different platforms and environments within the account."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"The functionalities that Veeam offers are fantastic."
"I truly like the solution; it is easy, fast, and reliable when it comes to growth."
"It is the best product for backup of virtualised servers, individual VMs and single servers."
"This is absolutely a product that I recommend."
"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"It is a straightforward solution; there is no need for a dedicated technical person to do the backup and replication, and Veeam is very straightforward when it comes to doing the replication."
"The technical support is very good and they are very responsive."
 

Cons

"There are times when results are very slow when we search for servers."
"The solution's stability is the primary concern for me."
"Initially we talked about some custom reporting, wherein our customer expected certain reports on a few areas, like how the storage is allocated, how the network performance is doing, and how the network utilization is happening for a virtual machine."
"A closer integration to the service management processes."
"Initially we talked about some custom reporting, wherein our customer expected certain reports on a few areas, like how the storage is allocated, how the network performance is doing, and how the network utilization is happening for a virtual machine."
"Some parts of the interface are rather complex and require a bit of time to navigate, but this has never stopped us as a Densify advisor is readily available to help with our "how to" queries."
"It seems that the mechanism for integration is, it goes so far but I think there could be some standard integration to normal remedy service now etc. I think that should be out of the box."
"Unfortunately the tools and mechanisms which really came to maturity in the cloud, and were not mainstream on-premise, are still not implemented."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"The downside is when you need to backup physical servers as usually most organizations aren't running a 100% virtualized environment so that can be an issue."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"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."
"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."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"The automation could be better."
"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost is always involved, but then I feel that this solution is better than other products that we have."
"There was some sticker shock, as this is not just another software product to spit out graphs."
"Densify has licensing setup so you can collect data without licensing. It gives you the ability to collect on everything, then choose later what you would like to license."
"Setup cost is negligible, as it scales fairly well."
"We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price."
"I find the pricing to be okay."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
"Pricing is not the cheapest, but you get a lot of value for your money."
"Its price is reasonable for a big company or a big client. It is not too much. It is cheaper than VMware."
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
"This solution requires a license and the organizations I was involved in were using an enterprise license."
