Darwin Cabiluna - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good DR and failover features
I can't tell what needs to be improved in the tool because the product is considered to be an all-in-one solution. The tool has security, and one can enable endpoint security. The tool also has backup and DR. From an improvement perspective, the tool should allow users to add more data centers in the cloud. At the moment, there is data in Singapore, and then my company doesn't have one near us, like here in the Philippines.

"The documentation can be improved, this would have helped."
"The product should improve compute points."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This pricing is quite reasonable."
"The tool is a little bit expensive. When it comes to pricing, there is a range for the VMs and endpoints. It depends. A set of backups on a DR probably costs around 10 to 20 USD per endpoint."
"The solution’s pricing is average."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing two or three out of ten."
"The product has an affordable price."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"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."
"The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"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."
"Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that."
