Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Technical support in Veeam is good.""The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent.""The solution is stable.""It is a stable solution.""The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs.""Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity.""It is easy to use and easy to recover files.""The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy.""The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user.""The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products.""A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company.""The stability and restore options on the solution are very good.""The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks.""The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful.""I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."

Cons
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower.""If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that.""This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes.""They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software.""The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified.""We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups.""It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky. It would be helpful if they could help us estimate storage or simplify the estimation portion.""They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage.""I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases.""We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people.""The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication.""The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other.""The solution could improve the stability.""If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive.""We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
