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"
"For me, it's perfect. We don't have any problems with backups and applications."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer."
"This is easy to use with a simple restore feature."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
"The initial setup was very easy."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"I have also been struggling with the storage and in some cases I need to move things due to performance."
"Veeam Backup & Replication could improve by making it more user-friendly."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors."
"Veeam ONE is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"The pricing is on the higher side, so I think they have to think about the price. It's a stable product and there was no requirement to keep in touch with the support team, so the renewal license was too expensive."
"The license is a bit expensive."
"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 reasonable."
"The solution provides flexible licensing options."
"It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions."
