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 features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device.""Since the last version, everything has been improved.""The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using.""The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers.""The solution is exceptional for desktop backup.""The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support.""The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly.""The setup is very easy."

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"

More Iron Mountain Connect Pros →

"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great.""I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs.""The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators.""The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on.""Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory.""It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery.""I like that the solution is very simple to install.""The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable."

Cons
"No technical support and minimal documentation.""The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures.""When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear.""The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors.""In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule.""We would always support better pricing.""The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls.""​It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cons →

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

More Iron Mountain Connect Cons →

"The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly.""Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs.""If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail.""The initial setup can get complex.""In the next release I would like to see a bit more intelligence as far as a solution or troubleshooting - to put it more on the level of resolution and not simply identifying there is a problem.""Recovery speed is slow. Full recovery on large machines (1TB+) takes too long""When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
  • "Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
  • "I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
  • "It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
  • "When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
  • "​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
  • "Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
  • "The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

    Information Not Available
  • "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.”
