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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"Replication without network changes."
"It is cost-effective. A lot of times, people pick Veeam because of its price."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"The best feature of Veeam ONE to me is the infrastructure analysis that you can perform before deploying a backup environment. You can put in your backup requirements, for example, repository files and improvements on your VMware side, to ensure that it runs optimally. Pricing for Veeam ONE is also cheaper than VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) which is a direct competitor in the ops space, so this is another advantage of the solution."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"It is way easier to take backup with Veeam Backup & Replication than the regular ones."
"One of the best things about Veeam is that they have consistently improved on themselves since they started. Personally, I've been using Veeam since around 2013/2014 when it was only supporting certain hypervisors such as HyperV, and since then it has become truly mature enterprise-level software with a lot of versatility."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve the stability."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."
"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."
"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."
"Veeam ONE should make available notifications through SMS."
"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."
"Integration with other equipment could be improved."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."
"Veeam's pricing is good. But compared to the past five years, it's constantly increasing."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is high and that is why I am choosing an alternative."
"The cost should be adressed."
"Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment."
"We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price."
"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."
"The product is not that expensive."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
