Provides alerts regarding pending jobs, but the storage capacity is very low
I use the solution for backup and recovery. I map the data paths to the network. There is a client agent and a server agent. The client agent is added to the client PC, and the server agent is added to the server PC. We work for the pharma industry. We save the files that need to be converted to…

Easy to use and mange with reasonable pricing
It's not a big use case. It's just to install and back up the users.  I recently had a project with a client with 500 users, and they wanted the client to back up from a specific folder or a specific file. I just deployed a backup portal, and then I pushed the agent on the client. I discover it, I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The user interface is good."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover."
"Solution provides good security."
"If you have windows machine at home and you'd like a backup, you can always download their free edition and plug in an external hard disk, and do a full backup of your laptop."
"The user interface is good. It provides a lot of information."
"A full-featured option for managing virtual machines with an instant recovery feature."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
 

Cons

"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"While the Veeam agent is perfect, sometimes the agent doesn't install in Windows."
"The solution's compression ratio and high speed for backing up can always improve. Aspects that need improvement are less time, better quality, higher security, and more compression. These are continuous requirements for any customer."
"With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive."
"The solution lacks instant recovery."
"I would like to have a more automated installation process."
"Updating and configuration can sometimes be a little bit of a hassel, but once you know the product better it is easy to use."
"A lower price would always be beneficial."
"I would like to see the ability for incremental backups and reverse backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."
"The price of our 12-month contract is approximately $1,500 AUD ($1,100 USD)."
"When we purchased four licenses, we were given a very good price. However, it is still on the high side when compared to some other vendors."
"We pay for a three-year subscription to use Veeam Agent."
"We have an annual license."
"The pricing is good."
"It is less expensive than one of its variants."
"The licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis, and the fees are much lower than what I pay for NetBackup."
"We have the Community Edition and I believe we bought a license for 200 instances. Veeam Agent is mainly used for our branch offices. Those only have one or two Hyper-V servers, so it's covered with the Community Edition. Basically, it's free. I remember Veeam 7.0 or 8.0 wasn't free, but the Community Edition is."
"The solution is inexpensive, more so than other products."
"The pricing model is based on CPU and must be declared as Microsoft or VMware licensing."
