Simple to manage and to protect securely your hybrid cloud VMs
The simple way to manage and to operate the product are its most valuable aspects. Having the possibility to not only back up the on-prem virtual machines, but also the virtual machines from the cloud has been quite useful. Also, we can backup our virtual machines to the cloud in a really cost-effective way, because it uses that compression and deduplication the product provides. That way, not going to have extra cost. That's really, really important. The solution provides a single cloud-based console to manage backup and recovery operations. That's important. You have also, for example, other services like Block Storage or DR, everything integrated in one single platform (HPE GreenLake). You don't have to spend time connecting to one site or one device or another. It helps you to do things quickly. The dashboard gives us a view of the protection status and actions we need to take to ensure protection. We have everything there. If we have some problems, it's going to show us. The dashboard is great for providing a quick overview. The built-in security features (encryption, backup data, immutability, and dual authorization) are all really important. The protection that the GreenLake platform provides makes us feel really confident about our security against attacks. If your backups are not going to be deleted, you can recover them within a few minutes. We use the solution to protect our on-premises virtual machines. With a single login, we can protect our VMs on-premises and in the cloud. It's a really good approach. You don't need to access, for example, the AWS portal. You have everything integrated with the console. With a single Internet connection, you can protect your virtual machines on-premises or in the cloud. The fact that the solution provides backup and recovery for both on-prem and cloud-native workloads is very helpful. Everything can be done quickly, and it's overall easier. That's the key: simplicity. HPE GreenLake Backup and Recovery has positively affected the amount of time we spend managing our backup infrastructure. Having that unique access point to the backup system and schedule and so on, helps in reducing a lot of time spent. We've likely cut time spent by 70%. Deduplication and compression features helped reduce the cost of backup storage and networking. They are one of the features that allows us to do everything really quickly. It reduces the amount of data going through the network. The always-on deduplication and compression features have helped to reduce the cost of long-term data retention. When you send it to the cloud, and you already have it compressed and deduplicated, you're going to spend less money.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to use for me."
"The always-on deduplication and compression features have helped to reduce the cost of long-term data retention."
"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
"The solution offers the normal benefits of a virtual machine versus a physical, actual machine. It doesn't take up space, for example."
"I have found the backup call feature very good."
"The tool is a stable backup solution."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"I think the interface is straightforward"
"The most valuable feature is how reliable Veeam Backup is. It has the normal expected features that allow you to ensure that everything is backed up completely."
 

Cons

"The dashboard should be updated."
"If you need to recover an environment and you have suffered from ransomware, it's difficult to start again with the backup and recovery service."
"I think that Veeam could improve some performance issues when the backup itself is restored. I'm also using HPE StoreOnce, which has deduplication, and when I'm trying to test or run backups, it takes a lot of time. I think they could improve the testing for backup copies."
"There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."
"Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"We pay every month for Enterprise Plus. There are no additional costs."
"The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
"Compared to other enterprise solutions, Veeam Backup & Replication generally offers a competitive price point. However, there has been a noticeable and concerning increase in pricing, particularly in the year 2023. The rate of price hikes has been significant, with prices escalating three times during the first quarter of the year. This trend indicates a substantial shift in the pricing structure, which may have implications for customers and their budgeting considerations."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."
"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."
"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."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
