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 feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
"The setup was straightforward Veeam Backup Replication. NetBackup is a larger solution and takes more time to implement but Veeam Backup Replication takes approximately 40 days."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
 

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."
"There might be room for improvement at the plugin level, specifically concerning application plugins."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"It's not that easy to use from the management side."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. It could integrate with automation services to automatically resolve identified issues rather than simply providing instructions to the user."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
