Simple to manage and to protect securely your hybrid cloud VMs
The simple way to manage and to operate the product are its most valuable aspects. Having the possibility to not only back up the on-prem virtual machines, but also the virtual machines from the cloud has been quite useful. Also, we can backup our virtual machines to the cloud in a really cost-effective way, because it uses that compression and deduplication the product provides. That way, not going to have extra cost. That's really, really important. The solution provides a single cloud-based console to manage backup and recovery operations. That's important. You have also, for example, other services like Block Storage or DR, everything integrated in one single platform (HPE GreenLake). You don't have to spend time connecting to one site or one device or another. It helps you to do things quickly. The dashboard gives us a view of the protection status and actions we need to take to ensure protection. We have everything there. If we have some problems, it's going to show us. The dashboard is great for providing a quick overview. The built-in security features (encryption, backup data, immutability, and dual authorization) are all really important. The protection that the GreenLake platform provides makes us feel really confident about our security against attacks. If your backups are not going to be deleted, you can recover them within a few minutes. We use the solution to protect our on-premises virtual machines. With a single login, we can protect our VMs on-premises and in the cloud. It's a really good approach. You don't need to access, for example, the AWS portal. You have everything integrated with the console. With a single Internet connection, you can protect your virtual machines on-premises or in the cloud. The fact that the solution provides backup and recovery for both on-prem and cloud-native workloads is very helpful. Everything can be done quickly, and it's overall easier. That's the key: simplicity. HPE GreenLake Backup and Recovery has positively affected the amount of time we spend managing our backup infrastructure. Having that unique access point to the backup system and schedule and so on, helps in reducing a lot of time spent. We've likely cut time spent by 70%. Deduplication and compression features helped reduce the cost of backup storage and networking. They are one of the features that allows us to do everything really quickly. It reduces the amount of data going through the network. The always-on deduplication and compression features have helped to reduce the cost of long-term data retention. When you send it to the cloud, and you already have it compressed and deduplicated, you're going to spend less money.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to use for me."
"The always-on deduplication and compression features have helped to reduce the cost of long-term data retention."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."
"Replication is most valuable."
"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."
"Veeam is easy to use."
"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."
 

Cons

"If you need to recover an environment and you have suffered from ransomware, it's difficult to start again with the backup and recovery service."
"The dashboard should be updated."
"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"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."
"Granular-level backup is difficult."
"It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."
"It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
"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."
"The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."
"It is relatively cheap."
"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."
"The price of this product is very good."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
