A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup

The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."

"The solution has good scalability."

"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."

"The stability has always been very good."

"The restore capabilities are the most valuable features."

"When it comes to service cases, I would choose Veeam Data Platform over Commvault because restoring from Commvault can be time-consuming due to filtering tasks. Veeam Data Platform, on the other hand, offers a much simpler and faster restore process."

"Veeam ONE is a straightforward solution and compatible with almost all hardware."

"Veeam One is a centralized management and centralized reporting tool. The tool has supportive infrastructure to create specialised applications and some server application. You can add all the resources and infrastructure. You will get the reports, can easily manage and monitor any feature."

"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."

"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."

"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."

Cons

"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."

"We need more options for the backup schedule."

"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."

"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."

"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."

"The support, reporting part and customization should all be improved."

"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."

"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."

"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."

"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."

"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."

"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."

"The solution could also be cheaper."

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."

"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."

"Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing."

"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."

"The product is expensive."

"The price of the solution could be lower."

"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."

"Veeam's pricing is good. But compared to the past five years, it's constantly increasing."

"The product is expensive for small businesses."
