Ensures our data is virus-free and protected from ransomware
While Dell DPS is a powerful solution, it is expensive, which allows competitors to find their place in the market. The deployment is complex and not simplified, requiring professional expertise. Additionally, there are issues with initial setup, particularly network speed and latency, which can cause disruption. Once configured, it is easy to manage, but training is necessary due to the technical complexity.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I'd rate the solution ten out of ten."
"Dell Data Protection Suite is a comprehensive suite offering virus-free and ransomware-free data protection."
"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."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"I think Veeam ONE is great as it is, it does everything I need."
"The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."
 

Cons

"While Dell DPS is a powerful solution, it is expensive, which allows competitors to find their place in the market."
"While Dell DPS is a powerful solution, it is expensive, which allows competitors to find their place in the market. The deployment is complex and not simplified, requiring professional expertise."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"I've never considered what improvements Veeam needs, and I haven't asked our customers if there is any room for improvement. As the manager, I only see the reports."
"Restoration takes about two to four hours with Veeam. Zerto can restore in about 10 seconds. That's the restoration speed I'm looking for now that we're dealing with ransomware."
"I have issues with the licensing."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Veeam's pricing is good. But compared to the past five years, it's constantly increasing."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."
"The license is a bit expensive."
"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."
"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."
"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."
"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."
