Simple and flexible backup solution
I mainly use Cloud Connect as a cloud backup repository Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options. I've been using Cloud Connect for about four years. We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning, but these were fixed after…

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

"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"We were struggling with having software that would give us reliable backup and when we implemented the Veeam solution, it solved the problem for us."
"The technical support is good."
"We can recover from any failures in case of any hardware failures or malware attacks, do a rollback, and recover our services with a little downtime, even in the case of unsuccessful updates."
"It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks."
"Simplified management"
"I started working with Veeam because of its replication capabilities."
"This is a good solution for a small to medium size company."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is in its own world - Nothing out there that is even close to this product that I could recommend."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."
"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors."
"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"I have used NetBackup. For heavy workloads or if I need consistent backup and restore, I prefer NetBackup over Veeam Backup Replication."
"Restoration takes about two to four hours with Veeam. Zerto can restore in about 10 seconds. That's the restoration speed I'm looking for now that we're dealing with ransomware."
"They need to improve their technical side. They don't have a lot of compatibility with Solar HP-UX, IX, or SAP."
"Dedupe capabilities."
"They need to address the confusing recovery dialogue."
"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."
"There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The price is reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."
"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
"The product is competitively priced."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
