Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"The restore capabilities are the most valuable features."
"The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."
"Recovery speed is slow. Full recovery on large machines (1TB+) takes too long"
"Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability."
"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is on the higher side, so I think they have to think about the price. It's a stable product and there was no requirement to keep in touch with the support team, so the renewal license was too expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a five."
"They could work at providing a better price."
"It is relatively cheap."
"Its pricing is really good."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution"
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
"The program is quite expensive."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
