Good backup retention but it is not a reliable platform and it doesn't giving any sort of alerts that things are not working
StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around 1 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. The majority of stuff wasn't backed up, so we really weren't happy with them. That's when we went on the look for a new solution.

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…

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."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"Very user-friendly and easily recoverable."
"Very reliable and easy to use."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"A simple and stable solution for small businesses that use virtualization."
 

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."
"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."
"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"The price can be better."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
"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."
"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."
"The price of this product is very good."
"The price is affordable."
"The solution is expensive, but it's value for money."
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
