Stable solution with a wider boost functionality, helping us eliminate the tape backup requirements
We use the solution to protect the applications running in the cloud or on-premises. Its wider boost functionality helps us eliminate the tape backup requirements The solution's most valuable feature is throttling the applications as per the bandwidth. Using it, we can adapt a method to work on…

Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The solution's support team is excellent."
"The setup was quite simple."
"I can't think of any improvements yet for Veeam because they are very good. It integrates very well with Microsoft applications. It is very easy to integrate. Micro Focus can also integrate but it's more complex. You have to know the product very well to be able to integrate. While Veeam, it's very user-friendly. You don't need to have certifications or anything to work on Veeam."
"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"It has an intuitive interface, and it provides us with successful backups without needing to tweak or do any adjusting. We just set it up and like their ad says, "It Just Works.""
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster recovery."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"The support, reporting part and customization should all be improved."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"It is an affordable solution."
"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."
"I don't have an issue with the price of Veeam Backup Replication."
"We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis."
"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
"Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
"Veeam ONE is offered at a good price."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
