User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement

While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very simple tool to use and offers flexibility in using the tool for recovery and transitioning from one state to another."

"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."

"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature, and its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."

"The product's initial setup phase was quite easy to install."

"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."

"Overall the product is really good."

"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."

"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines pros

"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."

"It's a great product because it's great scalability and it scales out from small to big companies perfectly."

"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."

"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."

"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products, and we've found this to be a valuable feature."

"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."

"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."

"I've found flexibility to be the most valuable feature, and I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."

Cons

"The solution currently supports only VMware."

"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."

"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."

"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."

"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."

"Although we can change the IP address, it would be good to have some other sort of orchestration to make life easier to manage when we failover."

"This product is not as easy to use as some other solutions."

"The solution currently supports only VMware. There is increasing demand for compatibility with other hypervisors, such as Hyper V and KVM Proxmox. Additionally, licensing has become less flexible and more expensive."

More Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines cons

"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

"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 dashboard could be more intuitive."

"The solution could improve the stability."

"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."

"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."

"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."

"Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."

"It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."

"This is an expensive product."

"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."

"This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"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 is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
