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"
"Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"The encryption password is used to protect the backup files. Even if someone gains access to the backup job or files, they won't be able to utilize them without the password."
"The solution is quite stable."
"I have found the backup call feature very good."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Device backup could be improved."
"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December. They have changed the way the product is licensed, and there is a lot of confusion. Sometimes, when a new version comes, it seems that it has not been tested enough because I usually find some bugs in it. It could also have more integration with other virtualization products, such as desktop virtualization products and open-source virtualization products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."
"Veeam ONE is cheaper when you compare it with one of its competitors in the ops space, VMware vRealize Operations. There's a separate department that deals with the licensing, but my company is using CSP licensing, which is the service provider licensing, so my company doesn't fall under the normal volume at the Veeam Universal licensing program. The cost is commit-based and depends on what your point commit is. The point commit works differently, and it's similar to your sales provider license. If you commit to using one thousand five hundred points, you get a certain price. If you commit to using the eight hundred points scheme, you get a certain price. As you grow the point scheme, you get a different price range, so it doesn't matter whether you're using Veeam One, Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup and Replication, Orchestrate, or whatever the product is."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"Its licensing is very simple. We can make changes very easily."
"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
"Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."
"It is an affordable solution."

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…
