Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs."
"I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use. We don't have any issues with it."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"One person can manage parameters."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"Some of the best practice documentation could be improved."
"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"The product is expensive."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"It's not that easy to use from the management side."
"We had one problem once with the network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is a bit high."
"The price is affordable."
"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
"The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
"The product is expensive for small businesses."
"This solution requires a license and the organizations I was involved in were using an enterprise license."
