Provides fast access to files and offers a reliable backup solution without compatibility issues
Versioning control helps speed up data recovery by providing easy access to previous versions of files. This is particularly useful when moving backups to off-site storage and deploying them quickly during installations. My experience with Synology Backup's security features includes partitioning for production environments, regular scans for new threats, and support for multifactor authentication. Password security is also emphasized, meeting basic security requirements. Before choosing Synology, consider its sensitivity in your network infrastructure, especially for critical backup and storage tasks. Prioritize security, including testing and recovery procedures, and evaluate the device's performance to ensure it meets your needs effectively. Overall, I would rate Synology C2 Backup as an eight out of ten.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
"It's good for file services."
"It is fast, reliable and secure."
"The ability to instantly recover a virtual machine as compared to several hours with previous methods."
"The product’s configuration and settings are very easy."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"I think the interface is straightforward"
"The solution's recovery process is very smooth."
"Nutanix technical support is excellent; you can't get better; you won't get better."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
 

Cons

"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
"Improving the pricing would be great."
"The pricing is increasingly becoming more and more expensive."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a very good product, but there's room for improvement."
"It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized."
"The solution needs to have the capacity to address more legacy workloads. For example, things like integration with tapes."
"Look at the price for the support. It is very high."
"The product is expensive."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
"It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap."
"Veeam is quite expensive. There are no additional costs to the licensing fees. IBM Spectrum Protect is also expensive. They should improve its pricing. They raise the price every time there is an increase in the features of the product. They should think twice about that."
"The solution is expensive, but it's value for money."
"Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU."
"The pricing is good and affordable."
"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."
"We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis."
