Provides efficient backup management and fast support response for Windows virtual machines
There is room for improvement in Veeam Backup for AWS regarding its pricing. There are alternative solutions available at a lower price. The product would benefit from adding more security features and improving compatibility with other operating systems like IBM AIX. Moreover, offering different licensing models, such as packages or perpetual licenses, other than subscription, could be advantageous.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Veeam Backup for AWS has valuable features such as easy management and installation."
"The documentation is very good. It's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication."
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"The solution just works consistently. I never have issues with it."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in Veeam Backup for AWS regarding its pricing. There are alternative solutions available at a lower price."
"Agent backups could be better. I have many problems with agent backups, particularly on Linux and MySQL databases. MySQL works well with Microsoft products but not with other products. The database backups are not working correctly, and we are losing business. I am not getting any support; administration is also a significant problem."
"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."
"The price could be lower."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more."
"It's not that easy to use from the management side."
"Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
"The price of the solution is high."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
"If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
