Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's support team is excellent."
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
"It works well for our backup needs, and I would recommend it for Microsoft 365 due to its reliability."
"We are able to store it on various cloud providers such as Amazon S3, Rocket, Azure, and IBM Cloud. It can also do on-premise integration, and we are able to use storage from on-premise. We are also able to recover data. It is a really good and intuitive solution. Veeam has developed a fantastic product. I've never seen anything that I don't like about Veeam. It looks like a very complete solution. It is really mature, simple to use, and quite interrogative. It also has APIs for writing scripts."
"For data security, we rely on Veeam Backup for Teams and it is quite effective."
"The product is easy-to-use."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
"It has got all the features. You can restore a mailbox based on an email or a calendar or based on all the emails. A user can also get access to restore the mailbox."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"The capacity storage is a challenge everywhere in the backup industry. The general feedback people are coming back to about this is that there is no deduplication based on it."
"One major drawback is that Veeam doesn't support migrating data once it's stored in object storage like S3."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution."
"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."
"From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all."
