Easy to use and setup
One valuable feature is the easy-to-use GUI There is room for improvement in stability. I have been using this solution for a few months. We currently use the latest version.  I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.  It is a scalable solution.  The technical support of N2WS has an…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"Simple and stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in stability."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"I have used NetBackup. For heavy workloads or if I need consistent backup and restore, I prefer NetBackup over Veeam Backup Replication."
"The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability."
"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."
"Pricing can be improved."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"The price is reasonable."
"I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a five."
"Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract."
"The solution is expensive, but it's value for money."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."
