Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"You can back up the whole image."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"The installation was straightforward."
 

Cons

"It would be nice if the solution scanned for malware in the backups."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
"Even though the speed has improved over the years, I think that there are some instances where it still takes a while."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. It could integrate with automation services to automatically resolve identified issues rather than simply providing instructions to the user."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It needs an easier interface."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Veeam ONE is offered at a good price."
"For now, I think the pricing of Veeam ONE is quite okay for any of the infrastructures, especially for those who want a backup system and a tool that provides monitoring services."
"Veeam ONE is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"The price is quite fair."
"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."
"It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal."
"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
