Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"With regard to our operational requirements, Veeam is very good because it's so user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that its reports are detailed compared to other tools."
"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."
 

Cons

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
"The tech support needs improvement."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"The price can be a bit expensive."
"It's not that easy to use from the management side."
"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."
"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."
"The product must be able to perform different types of backups."
"The deduplication feature could be improved by changing to global deduplication."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive, but it's worth for it due to the volume of critical information within our database. We are currently paying about $22,000 per year."
"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."
"I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category."
"We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
"The product is competitively priced."
