Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.

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

"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
"It’s a great tool and management should consider spending money for it, as it eases a lot of complexities."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery, as it is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV, and it is a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"We have been using this product for the past three to four years now, and we have well and truly recovered the cost of implementing it."
"I would advise others that the implementation of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward and it is a great solution."
"It helps with process restoration, and with Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"SureBackup is the kickass feature, with zero failure on restoration of the backups so you don’t even have to use SureBackup to be assured of the restoration."
"Invaluable in time saved managing backups."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"On individual user backups, there are certain people who have got individual PCs and they have data on them. Veeam is not up to that mark."
"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"There is always scope for improvement (in fact with the v8 version there will be improvements in fact!), But already it is great!"
"The amount of disk space required for the long term storage of backups (archiving Weekly / Monthly / yearly backups) can be higher then expected if you have a large daily change rate in your VM."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"The price is affordable."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution"
"It is always nice to get products cheaper. Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
"The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
"If you tell Veeam that you're competing with, for example, NetBackup or Backup Exec, or Dell or Micro Focus then they may lower the price. They are very competitive."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
