Hakimuddin Ronaque - PeerSpot reviewer
Has the capability to automatically integrate with a large number of products
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. I have not worked much on other technologies, like SAP or VMware's virtualization part, on-prem infrastructure, or cloud infrastructure. Instana Infrastructure Monitoring is so fast and easy to adapt that it works fine. I have not explored other operating systems or infrastructure solutions because my company doesn't have that customer scale. Most of our customers are on-prem or on AWS or Azure, but Instana Infrastructure Monitoring adapts to their infrastructure very well. My company came to know how well Instana Infrastructure Monitoring adapts to our customers' infrastructures when we take care of the PoC phase. Around 12 to 15 people in my company use the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup is easy."
"The product is easy to deploy."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"The tool is good for VMware environments."
 

Cons

"The product’s scalability is an area with certain limitations, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Instana Infrastructure Monitoring needs to support monitoring of the .NET framework since it is one of the areas where the solution currently has shortcomings."
"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."
"The backup and integration could be improved."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"In future releases, I would like to see the solution provide auto resolution and auto relocation of resources."
"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the tool is around 130 USD per month."
"We pay yearly licensing fees for Veeam in our data centers where we're using disaster recovery and replication between our many solutions, especially cloud solutions. From the beginning, we've done our licensing from a separate channel through our data center team in Seattle."
"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM 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."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis."
"The product is inexpensive."
"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."

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…
