Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
"I like the backup and backup copy features."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that its reports are detailed compared to other tools."
"I like all the backup features in Veeam."
"I can't think of any improvements yet for Veeam because they are very good. It integrates very well with Microsoft applications. It is very easy to integrate. Micro Focus can also integrate but it's more complex. You have to know the product very well to be able to integrate. While Veeam, it's very user-friendly. You don't need to have certifications or anything to work on Veeam."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure."
 

Cons

"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."
"In the next release I would like to see a bit more intelligence as far as a solution or troubleshooting - to put it more on the level of resolution and not simply identifying there is a problem."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"Some of the best practice documentation could be improved."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"Lacks online training."
"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
"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."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract."
"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."
"I don't have an issue with the price of Veeam Backup Replication."
"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
"I find the pricing to be okay."
