Charles Daou - PeerSpot reviewer
Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable
The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.
Edward Hore - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"The tool's stability is good."
"Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful. It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market."
"The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage."
 

Cons

"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."
"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"Veeam ONE could improve by having capacity planning, intelligent automatization, and ransomware."
"Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"The solution needs more detailed reporting."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"Veeam ONE should improve its UI."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
"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 licensing fee depends on the licensing model we choose."
"We pay every month for Enterprise Plus. There are no additional costs."
"The price is a bit high."
"This is an expensive solution and came at a higher cost than expected."
"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."
"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."
