Offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites
It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites. It also provides IP address management when network configurations differ across sites.

Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

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 is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to change IP addresses when failing a server over."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"The technical support services have always been good."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"The setup was straightforward Veeam Backup Replication. NetBackup is a larger solution and takes more time to implement but Veeam Backup Replication takes approximately 40 days."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer."
 

Cons

"The biggest challenge we faced was attempting replication between two different kinds of storage systems, like IBM on one side and Dell EMC storage systems on the other, before opting for VPLEX."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."
"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"We had one problem once with the network."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"This is an expensive product."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
"We dont have the exact licensing costs, but we pay for a comprehensive service package that includes technical support, cloud services, and data center services. There may be additional costs beyond the standard license, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, I believe the yearly cost is around five thousand dollars."
"The price of the solution is high."
"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
"The pricing is good and affordable."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."
"The price is reasonable."
"The product is expensive for small businesses."
