Good backup retention but it is not a reliable platform and it doesn't giving any sort of alerts that things are not working
The backup retention was pretty good. Being able to archive users who had been backed up is a good functionality. Even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around 1 to 2% of the points. It…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The backup retention was pretty good. Being able to archive users who had been backed up, is a good functionality. Even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected."
"The most valuable aspects are the latest features in version 12.1, which introduced enhanced security features."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"The backups we have been receiving from Veeam Backup Replication on-premise have been good."
"Replication is most valuable."
"Nearly all of Veeam's features are beneficial, particularly standard backup functionalities, application-specific backup capabilities, and the ability to create backups in Azure and our data center for disaster recovery purposes."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
 

Cons

"StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around one to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP."
"Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced solutions for database backup, particularly for Oracle databases in the context of SAP systems."
"For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"The product must be able to perform different types of backups."
"When you want to restore files, you first need to restore the machine, and then you have to mount it, and then restore the files."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."
"Pricing is not the cheapest, but you get a lot of value for your money."
"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
"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 solution is expensive, but it's value for money."
"It is more cost-effective than some of the other solutions, but a lot of that comes down to the fact that we're a reseller. So, depending upon the deal, we do negotiate different price points for different customers. The price varies depending upon the size of the customer, the size of the deal, and the discounts we can negotiate."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons."
"Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU."
