User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement

While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

Effective disaster recovery, two site synchronization, and cost effective

We have had an issue when some customers have traditional designs and sites. For example, on one another site, they are using hyper-converged, using VMware, or Nutanix. We have a problem with the synchronization between the storage for site to site. This is the main issue. We are adding some other tools to support the synchronization to allow the movement of the workload from site to site easily. Not all customers have VMware in all workloads. Some customers have a difference, VMware environments, such as Red Hat or Nutanix. VMware SRM is very effective for VMware customers. However, when you have other workflows with other vendors, you can not always use this solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."

"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."

"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."

"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."

"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."

"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

"The solution is strong when it comes to protection and analytics, with the latter being added later on."

"It is a very stable solution...I was involved in VMware SRM's deployment phase two years ago, and it was an easy process."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that you can independently run the disaster recovery without disturbing the production instances."

"It made the DR process a lot faster and easier for recovery after we were familiar with the product operation."

"It is easy to implement for my clients."

"Incorporating non-disruptive testing capability in disaster recovery procedures has significantly benefited the overall recovery testing processes."

"If you want to do failover, it works without any problem."

"SRM's best feature is automation."

More VMware Live Recovery pros

Cons

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."

"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."

"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

"The dashboard could be more intuitive."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

"The user experience could be more friendly."

"VMware SRM lacks certain functions that other platforms have, such as better prioritization of allocation of resources and Boot profiles."

"You cannot use VMware SRM in conjunction with storage replication software."

"The product's stability could be better."

"SRM may hit some OS issues related to IP changes, but they are usually OS related, especially in the 2008 realm."

"It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM."

"The product's dashboard is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"One thing which is lacking from the SRM is reporting."

More VMware Live Recovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"It is an expensive platform. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"After Broadcom acquired the solution, the licensing cost increased drastically"

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for VMware SRM, which is not very expensive."

"Licensing costs explode after 75 VMs."

"It is reasonably priced, and its cost hasn't been a significant factor in our implementation."

"VMware SRM is a little bit pricey."

"The software is expensive. There is a one-time cost involved in purchasing the license."

"It is about $3,000 a year for the 25 pack. The package gives you the ability to protect up to 25 virtual machines."
