Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"Replication without network changes."
"The most critical features of Veeam Data Platform for ensuring availability and integrity are its fast virtual machine restoration using duplication for quick backups and the COBRA point functionality that allows us to run regu"
"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
"The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope."
"Very reliable and easy to use."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"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 security of encrypted data could be better."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows."
"The web interface could be more visual."
"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."
"Veeam Backup & Replication could improve by making it more user-friendly."
"The price can be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
