Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The solution's support team is excellent."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"It is easy to set up initially."
"Instant Backup is an useful feature."
"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."
"This is very user-friendly."
"The encryption password is used to protect the backup files. Even if someone gains access to the backup job or files, they won't be able to utilize them without the password."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"The price is reasonable."
"Several licensing schemes are available."
"We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price."
"This solution requires a license and the organizations I was involved in were using an enterprise license."
"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."
"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."
"The solution's pricing is cheap."
"The license subscription could be more straightforward."
