More Dell CloudBoost Pros →

"The most important features is that it provides consistent cloud-based backup."

More KeyCloud Backup and Recovery Pros →

"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery.""Veeam Backup has many valuable features and every feature is different. I have created backups for file-level backup, VMware or hypervisor virtual machines, physical machines, and workstations as well. Every time, I learn something new.""The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations.""It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines.""The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks.""The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature.""Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."

More Veeam Backup & Replication Pros →

Cons
"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."

More Dell CloudBoost Cons →

"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that."

More KeyCloud Backup and Recovery Cons →

"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement.""It would be nice to see more affordable training options for individuals who want to enhance their skills. Some people I know have been interested in training courses, but they found them too expensive.""The web interface could be more visual.""Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution.""The price can be better.""The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate.""We would like to see support for some additional storage systems.""I would like them to move back to host licensing."

    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.”
