A competitive and balanced solution that offers solid performance at a reasonable price
I worked very closely with ExaGrid in Singapore. We are trying to build up the market for ExaGrid in Vietnam. We hope to be a big distributor for ExaGrid and that the picture will improve next year. Regarding the technology of ExaGrid, they have a landing zone, and now it's a very exhaustive solution, especially compared with Dell Data Domain and HPE. HPE offers normal storage without any special solution. Dell has DD Boost, and so the performance is high. On that basis, I rate the ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage number with an overall score of eight out of ten. People might be more familiar with Data Domain or StoreOnce. And if people want a professional solution, there are only three brands.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the performance of the restore feature."
"Veeam has saved us many hours retrieving deleted files as well as testing backups."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."
"Cloud integration is a good option."
"The restore capabilities are the most valuable features."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"Veeam Data Platform has had a significant positive impact on my organization by reducing downtime, ensuring data safety, and enhancing ransomware protection."
"We switched to Veeam a long time ago because it just works better."
"The customer service with Veeam is great, one of the best I have ever had to deal with, and the technical support is great, with very patient and knowledgeable staff who helped me through some very complex issues."
 

Cons

"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
"The Veeam technical support is not very good."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed."
"There are some features that are lacking compared to other backup solutions, specifically around the use of tape libraries, and this is the largest area for improvement."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"I'd like to see the pricing improved, it's currently an expensive solution."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ExaGrid is a one-time investment."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
"If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."
"The license is a bit expensive."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication has been increasing their price and my customers are asking why. They have CPU-based licenses and a Universal License, the prices should be reduced."
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
