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 initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."
"The monthly reports come complete with graphs and summaries, it's really helpful."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"The tool's stability is good."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"First, I like that this solution is fast. Second, I like the stability and flexibility."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"It would be beneficial if it could expand its coverage to support Frostbox and provide greater flexibility for service providers to recommend backup solutions based on customer preferences in prospective environments."
"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 virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"Backup speed should be increased, and there should be more functionality."
"It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized."
"Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."
"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."
"The product is inexpensive."
"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."
"The price is reasonable."
