Offers reliable Ops Agent and logging transport feature with easy third-party integrations
As part of our company, we implemented several changes in our log analytics pattern, including the storage and procurement process. Earlier, before implementing the solution, our company was able to procure only one year of data, but later, we came to the three-year mark. Around 15-20% reduction has been witnessed in the total analytic consumption of our company. The aforementioned result was possible because the solution allowed the creation of a dashboard where factors like storage costs, proportion of logs, and logs presence in a storage bucket or BigQuery can all be checked. Earlier all logs were stored in a raw storage, but currently our company is able to move logs in table bucket that contributes towards cost savings.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Provides visibility into the performance uptime."
"Google's technical support is very good."
"The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use."
"Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well."
"The most valuable feature is the multi-cloud integration, where there is support for both GCP and AWS."
"It's easy to use."
"Offers a valuable logging transport feature"
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The technical support is excellent. It's one of the best I've met so far."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward for me."
 

Cons

"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"It could be more stable."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"It could be even more automated."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"The solution could improve the performance. We are not able to check the status of any system. Additionally, if there was an option to monitor server clusters it would be helpful."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The integration with other solutions should be improved."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a basic standard license without any additional costs."
"The cost of using Stackdriver depends on usage."
"The cost could be lower."
"Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment."
"It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal."
"It's a proper price, as it isn't an issue for what Veeam Backup & Replication is giving us. Obviously, we are paying licensing for our physical VMware environment. It also depends on how the VMware environment is on the side. We have a few very big nodes. So, we need a few licenses and maybe if people had more nodes and sockets and each node was managing less information, machine supplies could be different."
"The cost should be adressed."
"Veeam ONE is offered at a good price."
"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
