Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
"First, I like that this solution is fast. Second, I like the stability and flexibility."
"Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"Veeam is easy to use."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"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."
"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers."
"They need to support more platforms."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU."
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"We purchase a license annually."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
