Fast data recovery for large scale datasets
The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.

Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"The good thing about Veeam is that its initial setup and usage are straightforward."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster recovery."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to verify that backups are valid."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward for me."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
"This is an expensive solution."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"I would say that the product is fairly priced."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"Its licensing is very simple. We can make changes very easily."
"The product is expensive."
"For now, I think the pricing of Veeam ONE is quite okay for any of the infrastructures, especially for those who want a backup system and a tool that provides monitoring services."
"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."
