Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 speed and the footprint the solution uses regarding storage are great."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."
"The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"The product is very straightforward and very easy to use from the client-side."
"Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance."
"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"Veeam ONE is a very good management product...The technical support is very good, and I think it's one of the best. The response time is very quick."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
 

Cons

"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."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe integration with Kubernetes for OpenShift would be helpful."
"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."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"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."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability."
"The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included."
"They need to address the confusing recovery dialogue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive product."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"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."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"The licensing fee depends on the licensing model we choose."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper. Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality."
"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
"It's a proper price, as it isn't an issue for what Veeam Backup & Replication is giving us. Obviously, we are paying licensing for our physical VMware environment. It also depends on how the VMware environment is on the side. We have a few very big nodes. So, we need a few licenses and maybe if people had more nodes and sockets and each node was managing less information, machine supplies could be different."
"The solution's pricing is cheap."
"They could work at providing a better price."
"The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have."
