Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"​The initial setup is really straightforward."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​"
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​"
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs."
"Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
"In Veeam backup, the most valuable feature for me is the recovery. It allows me to recover almost immediately while I continue fixing the problem of the affected machine."
 

Cons

"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​"
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"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."
"Pricing can be improved."
"They could improve the product's response times for technical support and enhance support for newer hypervisors."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say they could add automations for disaster migrations and for reverse replication. Overall, they need more automation."
"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"The product must improve its performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
"The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."
"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
"Its pricing is really good."
"The license is a bit expensive."
"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."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
"The solution's pricing is cheap."
"The solution provides flexible licensing options."
"It's a proper price, as it isn't an issue for what Veeam Backup & Replication is giving us. Obviously, we are paying licensing for our physical VMware environment. It also depends on how the VMware environment is on the side. We have a few very big nodes. So, we need a few licenses and maybe if people had more nodes and sockets and each node was managing less information, machine supplies could be different."
