Cons

"SEP sesam needs to work on stability."
"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."
"Lacks online training."
"Agent backups could be better. I have many problems with agent backups, particularly on Linux and MySQL databases. MySQL works well with Microsoft products but not with other products. The database backups are not working correctly, and we are losing business. I am not getting any support; administration is also a significant problem."
"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"The solution is rather weak when it comes to database integration."
"The pricing is very high."
"Sometimes the solution give reports that are confusing and has errors. So the integration of the full solution with the resolution of resolving the error should be added in the next release.The solution should also provide more customization, automation, better documentation."

"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
