Self-service integration enhances data protection and control over automated backups, offering robust restoration quality
The product is highly recommended for my enterprise customers due to its quality. The score for the product is between eight and ten, based on satisfaction levels. My clients are satisfied, but AvePoint Cloud Backup is costlier for smaller or medium-sized enterprises. Commercial discussions can be challenging on that front. I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"The initial setup is super easy."
"The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"The most valuable data protection features in Veeam are encryption and error handling."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"The solution is quite stable."
 

Cons

"Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on. Such customers often choose another backup solution instead of AvePoint."
"I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"AvePoint Cloud Backup's pricing could be lower and more flexible. Particularly, when dealing with smaller customers or more minor businesses, obtaining competitive pricing for bundles rather than on a one-by-one basis remains challenging."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies."
"The restoration could be faster."
"Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."
"I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"I have issues with the licensing."
"Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"It is very good for many of my customers in the banking and finance segments. The price isn't a problem there, but in some other industries, people ask for a cheaper solution. When the price is an issue for the customer, we recommend Veeam, Metallic."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."
"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."
"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."
"The product is competitively priced."
"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."
"We pay every month for Enterprise Plus. There are no additional costs."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution"
