You can't see any metrics about how long it took you to backup the entire server. We've had a huge reduction in the nightly backup footprint size.
Idera treats a backup of a SQL Server as if it is essentially a single backup job of each individual database. You can't see any metrics about how long it took you to backup the entire server. It doesn't handle restoration to different drives very easily, and it won't create folder structures if they don't exist already. It cannot be used to implement replication on another instance without first converting files back into SQL Server .bak files. There appears to be LOTs of shortcomings. [All of these short-comings are still very much present even after 6 months of feedback to Idera. No solution is in sight.] Still has a focus on individual databases and not for entire server recoveries. Have tried adjusting max threads values, but it seems to have little affect and Idera is still researching the issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"The integration with some storage systems like HP or Nutanix and great support are the most valuable features. You get productivity support. You get a response within one hour, even in the evening or night. The functionality of the whole software is good."
"One thing we like about the product is that it's good and not as expensive as similar products. Right now, there are different ways to back up your information—you can back up directly to a disk or the cloud. It allows you to have various kinds of repositories."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
 

Cons

"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"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."
"The tech support needs improvement."
"I face difficulties when trying to deploy Veeam ONE because my active directory restricts some particular rights."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
"Enhancing the level of automation in IT processes would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is a good value. They have a straightforward licensing model."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"Its pricing is really good."
"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."
"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."
"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."
"Veeam ONE is cheaper when you compare it with one of its competitors in the ops space, VMware vRealize Operations. There's a separate department that deals with the licensing, but my company is using CSP licensing, which is the service provider licensing, so my company doesn't fall under the normal volume at the Veeam Universal licensing program. The cost is commit-based and depends on what your point commit is. The point commit works differently, and it's similar to your sales provider license. If you commit to using one thousand five hundred points, you get a certain price. If you commit to using the eight hundred points scheme, you get a certain price. As you grow the point scheme, you get a different price range, so it doesn't matter whether you're using Veeam One, Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup and Replication, Orchestrate, or whatever the product is."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
