Easy-to-setup product with efficient data migration features
Many customers consider Quest Foglight for Virtualization a critical tool for migrations or new projects. In particular, one noteworthy case involved a bank that made Foglight integration a prerequisite. Some customers now rely 100% entirely on Foglight for their daily operations The product is…

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 product is stable and easy to set up. It provides minimum false alarms."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the internal recovery."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities."
"The technical support is excellent. It's one of the best I've met so far."
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
"Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster recovery."
"The initial setup is very easy."
 

Cons

"Quest Foglight for Virtualization's integration needs enhancement."
"The solution is rather weak when it comes to database integration."
"The escalation from first, second to third tier is sometimes very long-lasting, but the resolve rate is quite high."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"The support, reporting part and customization should all be improved."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
"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."
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
"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 Data Platform's pricing is affordable."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."
"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
