Using the app is straightforward with easy buttons to click on.
Customer Service: We didn't contact their customer service at any point because the backup and recovery process is pretty straightforward. But they have a customer support email and phone just in case. Technical Support: CloudAlly can be used by a non-techie person because it's simple. We didn't contact the technical support, but it's available for any user who may encounter a problem.

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.

Pros

"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
"With this solution, its remarkable to see that ease of use means ease of use."
"CloudAlly provides a unique solution for every major email application."
"Definitely an impressive ROI because the app is inexpensive and saves us time, headaches plus slow computer devices that could be jammed with huge data."
"Veeam Backup Replication is stable for VMware, it works well."
"The technical support is very good and they are very responsive."
"Veeam ONE is a good solution that anyone can use."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"It is very easy to implement and by far a better product than any I have seen so far."
"Very reliable and easy to use."
"No time has to be spent on debugging backups."
 

Cons

"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"The ability to back up physical servers from within the same Product and not as a separate module."
"Add new features on application backup and recovery. And expand the range of applications supported."
"We experienced a couple of issues where the Veeam ONE server went down because the SQL database grew too much, and we had to recreate it a couple of times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"We have a yearly perpetual license."
"The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
"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."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
"The price of this product is very good."
