Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is fast and trustworthy."
"It is a straightforward solution. There is no need for a dedicated technical person to do the backup and replication. Veeam is very straightforward when it comes to doing the replication."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"Initially setting up the product is easy."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"It is easy to set up initially."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The installation was straightforward."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"You can back up the whole image."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
 

Cons

"Pricing can be improved."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"It needs an easier interface."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is always nice to get products cheaper. Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality."
"I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is high and that is why I am choosing an alternative."
"We are fine with its pricing policy."
"Veeam Data Platform's pricing is affordable."
"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."
"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."
"Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
