Veeam Backup & Replication Pricing
Veeam Backup Replication has a lot of free features. We have a mixture of the paid versions as well as the community version. They are really helpful to us.
We have approximately 200 instances of Veeam Backup Replication with paid licenses and we use the community edition for the small offices.

Our license is about 200K for three years. It includes everything. It includes support and it includes the Office 365 Backup as well for the whole environment. We have about 6,000 mailboxes to back up.
For Veeam it's a pretty standard license. We made a tender because we are a kind of public organization so I have to make it on the tender, but that's the reason there is no cost for the hardware that I need to power the Veeam infrastructure.
View full review »It is more cost-effective than some of the other solutions, but a lot of that comes down to the fact that we're a reseller. So, depending upon the deal, we do negotiate different price points for different customers. The price varies depending upon the size of the customer, the size of the deal, and the discounts we can negotiate.

Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment.
I would say that the product is fairly priced.

It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution. I would rate it nine out of ten.
View full review »The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.
I would give it an eight. The only problem we face is when our support expires, and we need to renew. If we're purchasing a new license, that's when difficulties arise.
There are no additional costs or hidden fees. It's a straightforward pricing structure.

Although our license includes support, we have only really used the support when we were using Veeam for Active Directory. The rest of the time, we find Veeam easy enough to use without paying extra support fees. We are technology-aware people and experienced with this kind of technology, so we opted for the perpetual license. We mainly go with perpetual licensing with our various vendors (including hardware vendors) such as VMware, NetBackup, and so on.

This is an expensive product, so reducing the cost would be an improvement. The difference between IBM and Veeam Backup & Replication is insignificant.
It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal.

Veeam Backup & Replication is not so cheap. Nothing is cheap now in the market. But, it is very good and reasonable considering the integrated features. You can give it an eight out of 10 on the price.
There are different licensing models. Nowadays, I think you want to focus on the number of instances. They stopped the previous license, Charisma. You want to go by the number of instances licensing .
We have many different types of licenses. COMMUNITY EDITION ,VEEAM BACKUP & REPLICATION and VEEAM AVAILABILITY SUITE which will include all the advanced option including VEEAM ONE
You can get Veaam ONE embedded which will be cheaper, but few customers are actually going for this because, Veaam ONE is a complete monitoring and reporting solution it is not dedicated for Veaam backup solution. You can use it for monitoring the data center virilization solitons including VMware , MS Hyper-V , Veaam one has a very powerful monitoring and reporting engine .
View full review »The changes in pricing have been an interesting aspect. It seems to have become pricier, resulting in a reduction in affordability. There are extra expenses involved, including hardware requirements and the procurement of operating system licenses, which must also be taken into account.

Compared to other enterprise solutions, Veeam Backup & Replication generally offers a competitive price point. However, there has been a noticeable and concerning increase in pricing, particularly in the year 2023. The rate of price hikes has been significant, with prices escalating three times during the first quarter of the year. This trend indicates a substantial shift in the pricing structure, which may have implications for customers and their budgeting considerations.
The pricing model of Veeam Backup & Replication differs from other vendors in the industry. While many backup vendors base their pricing on the amount of storage in terabytes, Veeam opts for a server-based pricing approach. This server-based pricing has traditionally been more appealing to end customers, offering a simpler and more straightforward cost structure. However, as Veeam continues to grow and expand, it is encountering challenges in managing costs with this pricing model. From our company's perspective, the terabyte-based pricing model is more convenient and preferable.
There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees.

Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Veeam's pricing typically is extremely competitive. Rarely do we see it higher than the competitors'. With their new licensing model that they have put into place, they have really made it extremely affordable for a lot of my small towns who have to go to the town hall or police departments and request money. You've got the chief basically running the IT and running the police department. They look at things differently as they're not IT people necessarily that we're working with. Therefore, when they see pricing on technologies, it's even harder for them to justify the spend. However, Veeam has done a really good job at really staying competitive. I would say that they're definitely the strongest from a pricing perspective.
In terms of extra costs above licensing, if someone decides to use the cloud, that would be considered an operational cost. Then, of course, whoever the IT staff is, there's got to be some level of maintenance and provisioning and configuring and so forth of users. There's the head count too that goes with supporting Veeam.

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. The price of Veeam and its software related products enable you to have your own hardware. You can use your own infrastructure and you can actually buy what you want. This is cost-effective. It might be that if you buy something else and they have media things it's very expensive but it works very well. If your company has pressure to actually get back data very quickly, it might not be possible with this solution. Our college environment doesn't seem to have this problem. There has not been much down time but I think if the server is broken, it just restores within an hour and everything returns back to normal.

Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU.

The pricing varies considerably. It changes project by project. Some of our customers can get special prices from vendors. Some of them can't.
There are some environments that change in terms of product support, however, for pricing, there are two models in Veeam. One of them is CPU socket licensing and one of them is Universal (instance-based) licensing. It just depends on the customer environment.

View full review »Licensing is based on CPU socket of the host servers and if you get the enterprise versions you also get support for file, SQL and Exchange granularity so there is nothing else left to buy. Most other products either require individual licenses for these advanced features or are licensed for the amount of data you have so in either of those cases your costs will rise as your data grows.

On a day-to-day basis, the only additional overhead needed was an increase of our WAN bandwidth in order to accommodate the replication between sites. Overall, we managed to keep the costs at a very reasonable amount.

It's a proper price, as it isn't an issue for what Veeam Backup & Replication is giving us. Obviously, we are paying licensing for our physical VMware environment. It also depends on how the VMware environment is on the side. We have a few very big nodes. So, we need a few licenses and maybe if people had more nodes and sockets and each node was managing less information, machine supplies could be different.

The price is reasonable compared to NetBackup, Backup Exec, Dell, Micro Focus, or Acronis, then Veeam is lower in price.
Micro Focus's pricing is not too bad either because they changed the licensing model.
Actually, the most important criteria for us when considering a solution is service. When we are taking a decision regarding the hardware or software or any applications, then first we need to tell where and what the services they are giving us. Then we evaluate the service level element.
The main important criteria when selecting a vendor are then what are the features and services available in the devices or applications. This should be our main selection path to select any hardware devices or applications.
Because of our world, in the market, we can get low prices on devices or we could then see what is available. What I actually need is what I need to deploy, the features I need to be deploying in my architecture. That needs to be considered first in systems administration because the price can vary.
In my personal experience, these values and features should be the first standard for selecting a device or application.

The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive.

The only issue I have is having three NetApp filers and not being able to backup/restore from snapshots, SnapMirror, or SnapVault. So if I had more money, I’d head directly to the Enterprise “Plus” Edition. The Standard Edition is not supposed to manage tapes or deduplication and is limited to small infrastructure environments.

Pricing is sometimes a little bit high. It's well established within the market, so it's not much different from other tools and solutions that you can find out there. The Veeam Universal License, VUL, is one of the ways that you can license the product. I believe it is now the only way that you can license the product. It really facilitates the product and makes it easy to get a good calculation of the sizing of your environment, and it is a good metric for you to license the product. It's very flexible. It allows you to move licenses between different workloads. I think that it's a strong way of licensing this product universally.

If you tell Veeam that you're competing with, for example, NetBackup or Backup Exec, or Dell or Micro Focus then they may lower the price. They are very competitive.
The price of Micro Focus will beat Veeam, but then you're missing one or two functionalities which is good to have for disaster recovery.
