Stable and straightforward to install, and offers point-in-time recovery
I use RecoverPoint for VMs to for critical backups It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy. The price of this product could be lower. I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment. This means that you have to use…

Efficient for data protection and simple to use
For data recovery, we do some tests. We haven't had any problems yet. The tests we've done work fine. For me, it's perfect. We don't have any problems with backups and applications. Immutability is the most important aspect of data protection in terms of Veeam Data Platform. That could be one…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"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."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"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."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."
"The best feature of Veeam ONE to me is the infrastructure analysis that you can perform before deploying a backup environment. You can put in your backup requirements, for example, repository files and improvements on your VMware side, to ensure that it runs optimally. Pricing for Veeam ONE is also cheaper than VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) which is a direct competitor in the ops space, so this is another advantage of the solution."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
 

Cons

"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"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."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"The product must be able to perform different types of backups."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"They fixed everything that I was hoping for. It is pretty good. There were a few things in 9.x that I was wishing for, and they came true in version 10. We were looking for retention without having to make a copy job. We're getting ready to migrate m365 to the cloud. I haven't dived into it to make sure, but I wish the m365 backup would integrate into the current console so that we don't have to use two different consoles."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"The product must improve its performance."
"Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive product."
"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"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."
"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication has been increasing their price and my customers are asking why. They have CPU-based licenses and a Universal License, the prices should be reduced."
"The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
