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 stability has always been very good."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The solution has good scalability."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
 

Cons

"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"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."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"Cross-hypervisor replication can be improved."
"Backup speed should be increased, and there should be more functionality."
"Its reporting feature could be better."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."
"Restoration takes about two to four hours with Veeam. Zerto can restore in about 10 seconds. That's the restoration speed I'm looking for now that we're dealing with ransomware."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced solutions for database backup, particularly for Oracle databases in the context of SAP systems."
"I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could also be cheaper."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"This is an expensive solution and came at a higher cost than expected."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"The pricing is reasonable and falls within the average range."
"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."
"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
"Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
