Offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites
It offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots. It allows for automated VM protection during processes like failover and testing, and it offers replication flexibility across multiple environments, including local centers and secondary sites.

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 solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"One person can do the whole implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of the solution."
"Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines offers key features like any point-in-time recovery without needing scheduled snapshots."
"Overall the product is really good."
"Nothing beats Veeam when it comes to Backup in a virtual environment."
"Veeam Data Platform has had a significant positive impact on my organization by reducing downtime, ensuring data safety, and enhancing ransomware protection."
"So far, it's worked quite well for our clients and I can't think of any places where the solution is lacking feature-wise."
"I cannot speak highly enough of this product."
"The product responds above our needs and we are very satisfied with it."
"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."
"We are able to restore VM very fast, with 0 downtime."
"We changed when we saw the promise of Veeam, and these promises have been delivered!"
 

Cons

"The solution's technical team has enough skills, but the process can get complicated with the time you get connected with the L3 support."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"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."
"This product is not as easy to use as some other solutions."
"There is a problem with the solution's architecture. First of all, it requires double the resources on the virtual environment to set up one environment."
"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."
"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."
"The solution currently supports only VMware."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"I think that the web interface could be more visual."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation."
"With Veeam v7 in conjunction with vSphere 5.5 using vSphere Flash Read Cache (vFRC), I started seeing issues with Veeam backups either failing or VM Snapshots constantly needing consolidation."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"The solution is too expensive."
"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive product."
"The tool is expensive. If one means cheaply priced and ten means expensive, I rate the tool's price as a seven."
"There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
"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 not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."
"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."
"Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."
"The product is expensive."
"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
