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"
"Veeam is easy to use."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"Good compression when storing data."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment."
"Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"Recovery speed is slow. Full recovery on large machines (1TB+) takes too long"
"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"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."
"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."
"When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years."
"I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."
"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."
