"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment.

"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"SRM may hit some OS issues related to IP changes, but they are usually OS related, especially in the 2008 realm."
"The initial setup of VMware SRM isn't straightforward because many customizations are required since it helps in the recovery of your IT environment."
"In my opinion, the integration with Peer Persistent Storage could be improved."
"VMware SRM lacks certain functions that other platforms have, such as better prioritization of allocation of resources and Boot profiles."
"In general, the drawbacks of VMware SRM, where improvements can be made, stem from the fact that it is an expensive and complex product."
"The two vCenters have to be synchronized, which sometimes gives us problems because Keberos does not tolerate more than five minutes in time difference."
