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."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"The setup was quite simple."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"Veeam's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is the ease of use."
 

Cons

"Quest Foglight for Virtualization's integration needs enhancement."
"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."
"OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"Its reporting feature could be better."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"I have issues with the licensing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."
"We have a yearly perpetual license."
"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."
"The product is expensive."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper. Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality."
"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."
