Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The most valuable feature is its consistency. The ability to clone backups. | The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality. The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes. Backup and replication are the most valuable features. It is easy to use and easy to recover files. Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out. I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful. This is an easy-to-install easy-to-use solution for backing up Office 365 email. 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. |
Cons | |
This is not a feature-rich solution. I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice. | They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance. It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux. In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support. Technical support could be improved. The capacity storage is a challenge everywhere in the backup industry. The general feedback people are coming back to about this is that there is no deduplication based on it. It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem. While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use. The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis. | The cost is a bit on the high side. I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower. The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products. I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers. |
