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…

A Flexible, scalable and high performance solution to protect data from edge to core to cloud
The appliance is mainly for our servers and file servers, and it’s very user-friendly and secure The Veritas NetBackup Appliance is convenient because it’s a portable device and doesn’t require a lot of additional hardware or licenses like VPN solutions. We haven’t activated all the features…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The integration of Veeam Backup Replication is very good."
"As a manager, I find Veeam One's reporting service to be very helpful."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well."
"The most valuable data protection features in Veeam are encryption and error handling."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"Installing this solution is very simple and takes perhaps five or ten minutes."
"Technical support has been great."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure."
"There are a lot of new features that operate to protect the data from ransomware attacks. They launched the Veritas/Appliances to protect our data. Veritas has been doing its job well."
 

Cons

"Lacks online training."
"Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"Veeam currently lacks features for backing up to network-attached storage. Veeam Backup & Replication agents do not support S3 storage. Only Veeam Backup & Replication server supports S3 storage."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"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."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is on the higher side, so I think they have to think about the price. It's a stable product and there was no requirement to keep in touch with the support team, so the renewal license was too expensive."
"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."
"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."
"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"The price of this product is very good."
"Renewing subscriptions for appliance support is costly."
"The licensing costs are approximately 150,00 Saudi Riyals."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"There is a license needed to use Veritas NetBackup Appliance and there are not any additional fees."
"The solution is not cheap"
"The price of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is competitive. There are different models of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, such as perpetual licenses and subscriptions. Having the choice is good."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a nine."
"The price of this solution is very high compared to other solutions."
