We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most important part is that you actually know you have a backup of the whole virtual server.""It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for.""The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable.""Good compression when storing data.""I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use. We don't have any issues with it.""Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems.""Sandbox feature is like a power tool for troubleshooting.""The restore capabilities are the most valuable features."

More Veeam Backup & Replication Pros →

"Offers good recovery quickly.""The installation was straightforward.""It has a user-friendly interface.""With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements.""The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup.""You can back up the whole image.""The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."

Cons
"It would be useful if we could integrate our on-premise VM solution with the Azure workload backup from the existing console. This would assist our customers in reducing the cost of hardware.""Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature.""Pricing can be improved.""The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own.""They need to focus more on cloud backup.""It is efficient but can improve security-wise.""The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability.""We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."

More Veeam Backup & Replication Cons →

"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement.""The pricing could be cheaper.""Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement.""It needs an easier interface.""Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot.""The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""We faced issues with recovery and restoration.""The reliability is sometimes lacking."

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 →

  • "My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."

    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.”

    Veritas System Recovery 18 delivers superior backup and disaster recovery for servers, desktops, and laptops with a single unified solution that enables businesses to recover from downtime or disasters in minutes. With patented Restore Anyware technology, IT administrators can rapidly restore exactly what they need, when and where they need it - including entire physical and virtual machines to bare metal or dissimilar hardware as well as files, folders, and granular application objects. Unlike other technologies, Veritas System Recovery also provides cross-platform Physical to-Virtual (P2V), Virtual-to-Virtual (V2V), and Virtual to-Physical (V2P) recoveries, making it the perfect complement to physical and virtual environments.
