Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For virtualization it's perfect."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"The solution is quite stable."
"When it comes to service cases, I would choose Veeam Data Platform over Commvault because restoring from Commvault can be time-consuming due to filtering tasks. Veeam Data Platform, on the other hand, offers a much simpler and faster restore process."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
 

Cons

"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."
"I have issues with the licensing."
"The stability for AIX machines could be better."
"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"Agent backups could be better. I have many problems with agent backups, particularly on Linux and MySQL databases. MySQL works well with Microsoft products but not with other products. The database backups are not working correctly, and we are losing business. I am not getting any support; administration is also a significant problem."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."
"Its pricing is really good."
"Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract."
"For now, I think the pricing of Veeam ONE is quite okay for any of the infrastructures, especially for those who want a backup system and a tool that provides monitoring services."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"The price is quite fair."
"This is an expensive solution and came at a higher cost than expected."
"Its software solution has a fee."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
