Good policies related to data
I primarily use it for various policies related to data, such as data retention, data deletion, and archiving policies. All policies can be set using this system The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities. I would like to see more integration with different platforms,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."
"The granular restoration that it provides for a business application is most valuable. For example, for Exchange, we can restore a single mailbox or email. We can also do SQL Server restoration and bare-metal recovery for operating systems."
"This product is user-friendly. The interface is easy to use."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use, good integration with others solutions, such as Oracle ERP, and by using the UI you can create and achieve operations you want to do."
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
"The tool is good for VMware environments."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"Setting up for my case was completely different. There were some product-level bugs that caused a lot of challenges for Veeam Data Platform. So, it took a while."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
"Granular-level backup is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
"Although our license includes support, we have only really used the support when we were using Veeam for Active Directory. The rest of the time, we find Veeam easy enough to use without paying extra support fees."
"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."
"I would say that the product is fairly priced."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
