We use SEP sesam for disaster recovery and backup.  We need a solution to handle on-premise and cloud backup, particularly the Microsoft 0ffice365 server.  SEP sesam needs to work on stability.  I have been using the solution for a year.  We have not encountered any downtime while using the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We need a solution to handle on-premise and cloud backup, particularly the Microsoft 0ffice365 server."
"Very reliable and easy to use."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."
"One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"Replication is most valuable."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"The solution is quite stable."
 

Cons

"SEP sesam needs to work on stability."
"It's not that easy to use from the management side."
"The navigation of menus can be difficult to find what you're looking for sometimes."
"I've never considered what improvements Veeam needs, and I haven't asked our customers if there is any room for improvement. As the manager, I only see the reports."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"Device backup could be improved."
"Setting up for my case was completely different. There were some product-level bugs that caused a lot of challenges for Veeam Data Platform. So, it took a while."
"The pricing could be better."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SEP sesam offers a perpetual licensing option, which means you don't have to renew your license at a new price every time. I rate the solution's pricing a six and a half out of ten."
"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."
"Its licensing is very simple. We can make changes very easily."
"The price is great. It's software related, and I know that might be a good thing because it's a cheap solution to buy and we have been looking for a program for backup and they fit the bill."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."
"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."
"It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal."
"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."
"The product is not that expensive."
