Cons
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized.""I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection.""Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software.""Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation.""In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software.""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.""Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often.""The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."

More Veeam Backup & Replication Cons →

"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved.""The solution could improve by providing more integration and security.""Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement.""They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process.""The product must improve its recovery features.""It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system.""Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks.""Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • More Veeam Backup & Replication Pricing and Cost Advice →
