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.

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.

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 .

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.

I would rate the price seven out of ten.

We pay yearly licensing fees for Veeam in our data centers where we're using disaster recovery and replication between our many solutions, especially cloud solutions. From the beginning, we've done our licensing from a separate channel through our data center team in Seattle.

We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription. 

The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers.

It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions. With only one license needed, all features can be enjoyed, eliminating the need for separate licensing for individual components.

The original setup costs were in the region of $45k for a 24 host VMware environment. That was for the full Veeam Availability Suite which Backup and Replication is a part of. The day-to-day (Opex) costs we reduced from one staff member spending 5 hours massaging backups and replications to less that 1 hour a day.

I rate the tool’s pricing a seven out of ten. The product is expensive for small businesses. However, it is not that expensive.

The pricing of the solution is fair.

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.

The pricing is increasingly becoming more and more expensive. In 2020, it was a good price. After the last version, 10, the price has been very, very high.

In terms of pricing, our marketing department handles that. I don't really deal with that area. However, I can say that I would assume that the solution is competitive or else we would not be using the product.

I'd advise those considering the solution to first make sure they take the vendor training and get at least one or two on the team up to speed from people that know the product. Then, use them to cross-train the rest of your staff.

The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons.

There are no surprises when it comes to the licensing, as we are not on the front-end TV licensing model.

When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years. 

The solution is quite expensive, and that becomes an issue if you need to scale. Costs add up quite quickly. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how good your product is, if it's not affordable, you're not going to get people behind it.

The contract we have for this solution is affordable. It's not too expensive. That said, I don't know the exact pricing. I don't handle billing or licensing at my organization.

We pay a yearly license for support and upgrades. I haven't researched the price of any other solutions, so I can't say whether it is expensive or cheap relative to others. It is affordable enough for me.

In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based.

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.

It is relatively cheap.

We purchase a license annually. 

When it comes to the cost, IBM software is significantly more expensive than the solution for our environment, although we are talking about four years ago. 

I use the community version of the solution. I'm not sure of the licensing costs for the paid version.

Licensing is per CPU, so it depends on the number of physical CPUs.

The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is high and that is why I am choosing an alternative.

A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical.

We pay for licensing and have a monthly subscription.

While I do not know how much the product cost, as I was not involved in this sphere, I do know that this could be better. 

It is always nice to get products cheaper. 

Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality.

I have this installed on a 150k user base - My total spend is 3 Mil Us Dollars.

Be sure as always to evaluate products, get licensing costs, etc. Choose what is right for your business model.

It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten.

We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price.

Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable. 

We have like pooled license and act as a seller. We pay approximately $800 per month. There are no additional costs from Veeam directly but the solution does require cloud storage that needs to be paid for. 

The licensing cost needs improvement.

We have a yearly perpetual license. 

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.

It is acceptable for us because we having been using it for approximately four years. However, I think for new buyers/customers it may be cheaper than other products.

The original setup cost was very minimal, licensing was less expensive than the competitors and the equipment needed was purchased previously for the in place backup solution. Day-to-day expenses have also dropped with smaller lighter backups the window has shrunk from around 10 Hrs. to an area of 4 Hrs. This enables us to use this time for other mission critical task.

We pay for a license to use this solution, and we recommend that our customers pay for a license and a renewal license. 

The cost is expensive. It will depend on how you are managing your environment, your requirements, and if you can easily manage a license. It's not that difficult, so you can manage it, but the cost is high, so you need to check directly with Veeam as well as the local partner so you can get the discount prices.

The pricing is good and affordable. 

The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better.

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. 

This is an expensive solution and came at a higher cost than expected. We were charged higher prices than shown on the website by partners of Veeam. We were not able to buy a few licences to begin with. We had to buy five licences from the beginning before knowing if the solution worked for us. The initial contract for the solution was not clear on which services were to be paid for and which were free. 

We pay the licensing fees on a yearly basis. There may be a few additional costs, however, I cannot speak to those exactly. Our technical team might have a better idea of what is involved in terms of licensing arrangements. 

We tried the base license, however, it's my understanding that it wasn't enough and we needed a bit more. 

My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point. They have two different models, where one is based on the sockets that you're protecting, and the other is based on instances, or servers. You can choose whichever model works best for you.

Plan your long-term backup strategy for growth and size the solution appropriately. Veeam has a number of setup options to choose from so make sure you understand them to make the right decision.

I would always suggest a multi-year agreement as this will allow for the best possible ROI of licensing.

The price for Veeam is better than other backup solutions that we have found out there.

I can't speak to the exact pricing, however, in our region, in South Asia, pricing is always a concern.

The pricing is on the higher side, so I think they have to think about the price. It's a stable product and there was no requirement to keep in touch with the support team, so the renewal license was too expensive. 

Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing. 

The solution keeps getting more and more expensive. They should work on the pricing.

Every year, they seem to raise the price by 10-15%. They used to be cheap. Now they are costly.

Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. 

They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that.

They have a free edition that can back up up to 10 VMs or physical servers. Small and medium businesses can use this edition until they can afford to get a license, and after they get a license, they just activate it on the same console. That's the amazing thing about it.

Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions.

Initial Software costs includes 3 yrs of support = $65000 for 20 HyperV Servers.

Varied by client and their infrastructure needs.

Our license is yearly, but I don't know the cost.

The price is reasonable.

We chose Veeam because the licensing was cheap and we got a special deal from them. 

The price of this product is very good. In fact, this is why we acquired it in the first place. It was relatively cheap and also good.

It's very expensive. 

$30,000 was the initial investment for purchase and setup, and it has minimal day to day costs.

We have a yearly license.

There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fee per year. It's pretty straightforward. 

The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive.

We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. 

They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing.

The solution is expensive, but it's value for money.

The licensing of Veeam sometimes is quite complicated, even if they have improved a lot the way that the licensing is working currently.

The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM.

This solution requires a license and the organizations I was involved in were using an enterprise license.

It's expensive and costs about 1000 a year.

I'm told that Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution, and it's very competitive in terms of pricing. It's cheaper, and it's going to be up ahead of the competitors in terms of pricing by sockets. Compared to other vendors, they're much cheaper, and Veeam is almost everywhere now.

The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment. That should be taken into consideration when purchasing the Veeam Backup and Replication solution.

Pricing of Veeam is excellent and is an excellent value proposition for both partners and customers.

I believe it’s possible to work directly with Veeam, but we had our VAR handle it, which made the process fairly hands-off and easy. I recommend handling this the same way for almost any licensing, not just Veeam.

It is priced per Socket. We have licensed 24 servers, 2 Sockets per server. Enterprise Edition.

There are multiple licensing options available to handle environments of varying sizes. The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region.

Veeam Backup Replication is a one time subscription for five years.

Customers would rather have a standard license than a subscription because they prefer an OPEX solution over a CAPEX. They prefer to buy the solution with the solution and support for five or 10 years. 

The pricing is very good. They are very affordable, even for smaller businesses.

The price of Veeam Backup Replication has been increasing their price and my customers are asking why. They have CPU-based licenses and a Universal License, the prices should be reduced.

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. 

It would be useful to use the capacity licensing option.

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.

Regarding pricing, most of our customer who have been used to buying, supporting and maintaining other well know products are shocked at how economical Veeam is and sometime question “how good can it be?” They are quickly convinced that it is a very robust product and start designing ways to “leverage” their backup data in ways they hadn’t imagined.

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. With Veeam, provided you don’t add more servers, the license cost remains flat.

The original set-up cost was only the license fee (£636+vat), plus minimal internal IT costs to set up.

The essentials bundle is great value for money if you have storage from NetApp or HP, but you really have to make sure you will not reach the limits in the near future. There are plans here to cooperate with other organizations and then the 3 hosts limit probably will give us trouble.

Initial setup was under $3,000.00 including consultants and employee time. Day to day costs are very minimal with simply adding a new VM to one of the replication folders after deployment.

Licensing costs are reasonable.  

We resell perpetual licenses. We sell monthly licenses, too. Although the pricing could always be better, I'd say it's fair — it's not overpriced. 

There is only one license that you can purchase. My colleague was handling the licensing details. I was looking at it more from a technical perspective and therefore can't speak to the pricing or licensing agreements that are possible.

We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis.

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. This is typical when a company becomes an industry leader.

In comparison with other solutions, licensing costs are fair although still a little high. Veeam is not as expensive as Commvault or other backups.

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

We've found the pricing to be very reasonable. It's not overly expensive. 

There are different tiers available, including Standard, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus. We have the standard license. 

We currently have ten to 15 different licenses. I can't speak to the exact details as it's mostly handled by the IT operations team.

Beyond the licensing, the only cost which we have incurred, which was a little too much, was the training. In our company, people need to be certified as we basically go for internal competence and upscaling our people, as a team. However, Veeam certifications are costly. That is one thing that was a little bit of a pain point for us.

The pricing of the solution could be reduced.

The license can be expensive if you have a lot of VMs, as that's what the cost is calculated from, but it's also flexible in terms of what kind of backup you can use.

This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side.

I think enterprise level is a good way to go if you don't have 3PAR or NetApp storage in-house; otherwise, switch to Enterprise Plus to have the best-in-class backup solution at the moment.

Software can always be cheaper, but it's not prohibitively expensive. Veeam seems reasonable for what you get.

Speak to your preferred VAR, and wait until the ends of quarters for some great deals.

Setup cost is a variable, but take the number of cpu´s and multiply that with the license cost as well as a target for backup storage and you have the price.

It cost $1200 for the initial setup and then $70 per hour in the case of a restore.

Don't recall, I believe annual support is $2500

Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads.

We are on an annual license for Veeam Backup Replication. We could expand or upgrade the license for the Office365 features. Next year we might go to a three-year plan for support on license.

Pricing for Veeam is very reasonable compared to Veritas or other products in my care. It suits many customers.

While I do not have all the financial information at my disposal, I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive. 

I don't know the exact pricing of the software. I can't speak to its direct costs.

Pricing is a bit high from my experience and licensing can be improved; my company is a holding company and we had problems using licenses for sites around the world in the HQ server. (It's not allowed; we had to merge all the licenses into one big one.)

The pricing is reasonable, but tracking and purchase levels are unnecessarily complicated.

If you are an Enterprise and you think the price tag may be high, contact a Veeam Service Provider and see how they can help.

The original setup cost included purchasing hardware on which to replicate the VMs, as well as the license and support fees for Veeam. 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.

Maybe Veeam is not the cheapest product, but it is the best backup solution I have ever used. If you want to sleep at the night, don't worry about your data , spend a few more $$ on the Veeam solution, and I guarantee you will love it.

I can't remember. Veeam is licensed by processor and I would say it is much cheaper than it's competitors.

I do not recall the exact setup costs. I believe I paid the vendor ~$1,500 to implement Veeam, plus the cost of the Veeam licenses and support. Ongoing cost is simply the cost of renewing support and about 5 minutes of my day.

Licensing costs are competitive even with the additional features that need to be licensed.

The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have.

We are fine with its pricing policy. 

We provide service for our customers, and the licensing is on a monthly basis. They get licenses, computer resources, and our support. Everything is included in a single price.

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 licensing is on an annual basis and I think it's a good price. 

Its software solution has a fee.

The pricing and licensing is quite competitive with other products. I would not says that it is much higher, neither is it low.

The pricing and licensing are reasonable.

The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy.

Don’t waste your money on Symantec or other tools. Buy a license once for Veeam as it's a lifetime one and the support license can be renewed, as required, on a yearly basis.

Licensing is very straightforward. Pricing is not the cheapest, but you get a lot of value for your money.

The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive.

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 price is slightly higher than its competitors.

According to the features, I believe it has a reasonable price.

It wasn’t too long ago that one paid a high price for something that would cover DR and was usually out of the reach for most small customers. Veeam fills that gap with very keen pricing, reliable backups, reliable restores and ofsite VM replication. For me its a small investment for peace of mind.

Go for the availability suite which includes Veeam One. It can be had for an incremental cost and it provides very actionable alerts.

I would advise you to buy the service contract, as you will get all the version updates for free, which can save money in the long run.

For what it's capable of providing, I think pricing for this product is pretty decent both in functional and support licensing. Regarding licensing, all I can advise is that you either get the Standard version or the Enterprise Plus for the advanced features. There aren't that many reasons to get the Enterprise version.

It offers a good cost-benefits balance.

Management of Veeam is easy. It notifies me everyday of the progress of the backups. The setup costs were normal. Cost of OS, Veeam Software, and shared hardware (virtual environment).

Our original setup cost for this product was a fair price and we don't have any extra costs.

I am not familiar with the licensing fees. 

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 licensing is pretty good. If you have it set up correctly, it allows the solution to take on multiple jobs.

It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap.

The price is quite fair.

People always want something cheaper but then it doesn't work as well.

Its pricing is really good.

Its price is reasonable for a big company or a big client. It is not too much. It is cheaper than VMware.

The price is higher than other similar products.

The pricing is high. It's not the cheapest on the market. We'd prefer it if it was lower and more affordable. 

I don't have an issue with the price of Veeam Backup Replication.

The solution should have a more cost-effective price. This can be an issue if one wishes to expand on a large number of servers, such as those exceeding 100, but does not have the budget to do so. 

We are partnered with Veeam, so always get a consulting company for good prices and help with the planning and setup.

I always tell others upfront that the licensing is based on the number of host CPUs. I also explain how easy it is to recover VM data or the entire VM and to take that into consideration when looking at the pricing.

Licensing costs are OK, they are a good average when compared to their competitors. 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.

Given the simplicity of installation and implementation, its initial cost is very low. Of course, having the ability to automate the verification of backups, having the ability to perform a restore also from the Help Desk group and, finally, having very few problems with backup, keeps management costs remaining low.

20k € initial cost.

I don't have the initial cost, but ongoing maintenance is very affordable.

Veeam is cheaper than our older solution and more reliable. We spend less time to check and/or relaunch daily backup in error.

The licensing of this product is expensive.

I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis.

I don't think there are any costs in addition to the standard licensing fee.

Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products.

I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution.

The pricing makes sense, especially with the number of VMs you can fit on one socket nowadays. Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along.

Worth the money especially if you have high consolidation ratio per physical host.

We spent time setting up a live POC to make sure Veeam B&R could deliver in our real world environment. After deciding to purchase it, we got it up and running with minimal effort. We’d done most of our testing & validation of the configuration in the POC.

Between $500-1000.

I think about $8,500

Its licensing is very simple. We can make changes very easily.

Veeam is in the same price range as Veritas and similar solutions in that segment. 

What they have in place for the licensing, is really good, which makes it easy to convince customers. 

It is a subscription license, and that is where every software solution is heading. The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years.

The single licensing model for the customers is a benefit, it includes many features such as ransomware and other protections.

The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable.

Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD).

This is per-CPU, initially we ordered 40 CPU.

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.

The license subscription could be more straightforward.

We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive.

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.

If they can give more add-ons (such as training) for the pricing.

Pricing is reasonable and the product is worth investing in.

The price is very attractive and probably the lowest on the market for an enterprise backup tool.

Like 9000€.

The license is a bit expensive.

Pricing-wise, it’s expensive. However, the product is great and does what it says.

The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable.

Customers pay a yearly subscription for the Veeam license. The price could be lower. 

The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition.

We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get.

The licensing is something that could be improved.

It's not cheap for sure but in comparison with rivals it's not very pricey as well. Disaster recovery and backup solutions are not cheap and investing in them is worth much as it helps you to protect valuable data.

The Veeam B&R licensing model is very straightforward – it is licensed per-CPU socket of virtualisation host system. This provides a predictable cost model, and avoids the often crippling “virtual machine tax” that capacity–based or agent/system-based licensing structures can impose. It is also recommended to consider Veeam's bundled offers, such as the Availability Suite or procuring additional maintenance/support upfront.

Actually, the cost is more than one hour of work per day (at maximum). I don't know the real cost of installation.

I believe we initially spent 10k on implementation.

Was an NFR.

We don't pay for this solution, our customers do.

Veeam’s licensing provided savings of almost 55% in the first three years. After this period, the savings will be even greater, because the license cost is not calculated by backup volume.

Licensing is on an annual basis. 

When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price.

They could work at providing a better price.

Pricing/licensing is fair enough. Licensing for this software is per CPU socket.

It is important to count all the sockets of vm-hosts to get the right license.

Licensing is available both annually and monthly, with no additional fees.

While we work with the standard version of the solution, if you want to upgrade, the pricing is too high. They could work to make it more affordable for the Polish market. It's too high for most companies to afford. If it was more affordable, it could be more accessible.

The price is adequate for the quality of the product. There are several editions/licenses that start from basic functionality (Standard Edition) to the edition that includes maximum integration (Enterprise Plus). I would recommend considering at least the Enterprise Edition.

The price of the solution could be lower.

We pay for the solution annually, particularly as relates to the cloud version.

Talk to your Veeam rep.
