We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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. | The user interface is good and it is very easy to use. The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well. 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. Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer. Very flexible, all-in-one solution. 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. It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days. |
Cons | |
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. | I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM. 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. 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. Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction. Needs better integration with cloud service providers. 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. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
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. | 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. The product is competitively priced. The pricing is good and affordable. The price is slightly higher than its competitors. The price is great. It's software related, and I know that might be a good thing because it's a cheap solution to buy and we have been looking for a program for backup and they fit the bill. I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution. Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions. |
