We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is super easy.""It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional""It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it.""It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup.""The product's initial setup phase was super easy.""The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes.""The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup.""The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."

"The solution is stable and the performance is good.""The most valuable feature is the internal recovery.""The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs.""Veeam Backup & Replication is a great alternative to what is out there. Some of the backups just allow an agent backup to the cloud. You can back up a thousand different ways, but this is a great way to keep a customer and a company in compliance in that they've got their data secure onsite and offsite. The data being transferred to the NAS at the customer's location and also the data being sent to the cloud is encrypted in transit and it's also encrypted at rest so that nobody is going to be able to hack into that. No one will have the keys to do that.""Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage.""One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable.""It is way easier to take backup with Veeam Backup & Replication than the regular ones.""What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."

Cons
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies.""It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do.""It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it.""It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments.""The restoration could be faster.""I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete.""For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works.""Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on. Such customers often choose another backup solution instead of AvePoint."

More AvePoint Cloud Backup Cons →

"The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware.""I would like for them to develop the ability to fix the way it does backups. We can't pick a backup for one database. We have to do a backup on the whole Exchange VM. I'd like for them to change it to where we can do individual backups.""The patching can be quite difficult at times.""The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time.""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.""If you do not use the standard software and you go with a third-party solution such as this one, it might not work the same. There is an integration issue I understand between the database standards.""When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us.""There is some complexity we have experienced when using the solution that should be simplified."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
  • "It is very good for many of my customers in the banking and finance segments. The price isn't a problem there, but in some other industries, people ask for a cheaper solution. When the price is an issue for the customer, we recommend Veeam, Metallic."
  • "The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
  • "It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
  • "The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
  • "I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."

  • "If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
  • "The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
  • "Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
  • "Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
  • "The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
  • "The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
  • "I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
  • "Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Veeam Backup & Replication is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ease of set up, the fact that it is agentless, and that it has an intuitive dashboard. 

    A Network Operations Manager at an educational organization says, "Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."

    An Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company mentions, “I like that it's agent-less, easy to set up, and hardware-agnostic.”

    An Account Manager at a tech services company states, “The dashboard is very, very easy to understand. We do demonstrations all the time with customers just to show them. If they've lost particular files because of a server going down, we can retrieve those files for them and quickly bring those files back up.”

    Kerem C., Director of Professional Services/Senior Solution Architect/Trainer at a tech services company, explains, “It's good for backup performance management and backup window management.”
