Shailesh Tripathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for storing details of projects and has an easy configuration
I will recommend the product to others. We are partners. Our clients moved from on-premise setup to the cloud. We suggested AWS to them. We have configured the product based on the best practices. We also monitor the solution for recommendations in the Security Hub. We try to get the data encrypted properly within our repository. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
Ozgur-Ekinci - PeerSpot reviewer
The product is affordable and can be easily deployed, but the scalability must be improved
We just need to create an account in Wasabi. Wasabi gives us an access link, username, and password. We provide this information to Veeam so that Veeam is able to reach Wasabi resources. Then, we can copy our backup data to Wasabi. It's very straightforward, and it's very easy. The deployment can be done within an hour. The user creation and Wasabi account login creation take about an hour. The final process takes about five minutes.
