A comprehensive and well-built solution for disaster recovery and backup
We use SEP sesam for disaster recovery and backup.  We need a solution to handle on-premise and cloud backup, particularly the Microsoft 0ffice365 server.  SEP sesam needs to work on stability.  I have been using the solution for a year.  We have not encountered any downtime while using the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We need a solution to handle on-premise and cloud backup, particularly the Microsoft 0ffice365 server."
"Veeam One is a centralized management and centralized reporting tool. The tool has supportive infrastructure to create specialised applications and some server application. You can add all the resources and infrastructure. You will get the reports, can easily manage and monitor any feature."
"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Nearly all of Veeam's features are beneficial, particularly standard backup functionalities, application-specific backup capabilities, and the ability to create backups in Azure and our data center for disaster recovery purposes."
"Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"The direct SAN backup feature perfectly integrates with our 3PAR storage infrastructure."
 

Cons

"SEP sesam needs to work on stability."
"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."
"The product must improve its performance."
"The pricing could be better."
"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues. Sometimes during backup, when it's taking the scan snaps on the ESXi, it started and didn't remove the snapshot from there, which consumed storage on the EXSi. It could be improved with more technical depth. The response time for Veeam's technical support could also be improved."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SEP sesam offers a perpetual licensing option, which means you don't have to renew your license at a new price every time. I rate the solution's pricing a six and a half out of ten."
"It is an affordable solution."
"Veeam ONE is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"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."
"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 tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."
"We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis."

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…
