Beneficial pricing model, user friendly interface, and many free features
We use Veeam Backup Replication for the data center, desktop recovery, daily backups, and for storage offline The solution is a user-friendly interface. The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the…

The primary use case of this solution is for backing up EC2 instances and RDS instances The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions. Also, the ability to integrate it with the information management studio, and the backups for RDS…

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 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."
"It's scalable."
"The solution is really easy and straightforward to use."
"Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too."
"One person can manage parameters."
"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."
"Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
"One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect."
"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."
"The product is good for volume-level backups."
 

Cons

"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"The solution could improve the performance. We are not able to check the status of any system. Additionally, if there was an option to monitor server clusters it would be helpful."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"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."
"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas. For example, in Veritas, you can see a calendar that shows you which days are backed up. Veeam lacks features like that."
"I have also been struggling with the storage and in some cases I need to move things due to performance."
"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."
"They are niche with the work that they do, but they should have more integration with NetBackup and the reporting is something they should be working towards improving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category."
"We pay for a license to use this solution, and we recommend that our customers pay for a license and a renewal license."
"Its pricing is really good."
"We pay every month for Enterprise Plus. There are no additional costs."
"The product is expensive for small businesses."
"We dont have the exact licensing costs, but we pay for a comprehensive service package that includes technical support, cloud services, and data center services. There may be additional costs beyond the standard license, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, I believe the yearly cost is around five thousand dollars."
"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
"When comparing to other solutions, the price is at par."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
