Easy to use and setup

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."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"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."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"The product’s configuration and settings are very easy."
"The product is very straightforward and very easy to use from the client-side."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that its reports are detailed compared to other tools."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
"Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage."
 

Cons

"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"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 has room for improvement."
"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."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated."
"They could improve the product's response times for technical support and enhance support for newer hypervisors."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"In the next release I would like to see a bit more intelligence as far as a solution or troubleshooting - to put it more on the level of resolution and not simply identifying there is a problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"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."
"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."
"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"It's a proper price, as it isn't an issue for what Veeam Backup & Replication is giving us. Obviously, we are paying licensing for our physical VMware environment. It also depends on how the VMware environment is on the side. We have a few very big nodes. So, we need a few licenses and maybe if people had more nodes and sockets and each node was managing less information, machine supplies could be different."
"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
"Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU."
"The pricing structure for Veeam ONE has changed to what is now called the "VUL" or "Universal License". Previously, people mainly used socket licenses, but this has now changed. The new pricing structure was introduced last year."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
