Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is stable and easy to set up. It provides minimum false alarms."
"Simple and stable."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"I think Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO."
"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."
"For virtualization it's perfect."
"I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto."
 

Cons

"Quest Foglight for Virtualization's integration needs enhancement."
"There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space."
"I feel that the product's support team needs improvement."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly."
"I have issues with the licensing."
"Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."
"Several licensing schemes are available."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a five."
"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
"The product is competitively priced."
"The pricing is good and affordable."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
