Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"This product has unique capabilities that lead the product category in test data management, cloning and recovery." "They will assist me in achieving whatever budget issue the client may be having." | "It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days." "We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work." "Very flexible, all-in-one solution." "The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well." "The user interface is good and it is very easy to use." "Before Veeam, we had backup infrastructure sprawl. Veeam was able to reduce our overall backup windows while reducing our dedicated backup infrastructure." "Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data." "The most valuable feature is the ability to verify that backups are valid." |
Cons | |
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility." "Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment." | "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." "We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide." "Needs better integration with cloud service providers." "It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there." "I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM." "Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs." "Additional executive summary reports for the entire infrastructure would be a nice to have." "One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"Pricing is on a case by case basis." | "The pricing is good and affordable." "The product is competitively priced." "The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution." "We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year." "Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products." "My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point." "Its software solution has a fee." "It is more expensive than other solutions." |
