Daily workflows have become smoother as data combines and connects seamlessly for meetings
Suggestions to help HCLTech Informix make a more positive impact for my organization are not applicable. The advice I would give to others looking into using HCLTech Informix is not applicable. The vendor can contact me if they have any questions or comments about my review. I found this interview acceptable and I am not interested in any changes for the future. I gave this review a rating of 9.

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

"The best features HCLTech Informix offers include the ability to combine data and connect systems."
"The tool is good for VMware environments."
"The solution provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"Customer service is very reactive, you can open a call and be sure that's solved or helped on a 24h max."
"Veeam has saved us many hours retrieving deleted files as well as testing backups."
"We had other backup solutions, but Veeam has proved to be better than VMware."
"Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure."
"My technical team can provide a more accurate answer regarding experience with its recovery speed and reliability, but we haven't had any issues with it."
"If it backs up, then I'm sure it will restore!"
 

Cons

"HCLTech Informix has not impacted my organization positively."
"Tape support is still not performing as expected (at least for my opinion) as Veeam relates to tape backup as a repository instead of a long term archive."
"We would like the ability to backup physical servers."
"The restore process is somewhat complicated for Veeam Data Platform."
"The price can be better."
"For my client, bandwidth is a problem."
"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December. They have changed the way the product is licensed, and there is a lot of confusion. Sometimes, when a new version comes, it seems that it has not been tested enough because I usually find some bugs in it. It could also have more integration with other virtualization products, such as desktop virtualization products and open-source virtualization products."
"Random CBT errors during backup jobs."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have a yearly perpetual license."
"The pricing is reasonable and falls within the average range."
"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"The product is competitively priced."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"It is relatively cheap."
