Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.

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

"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"With regard to our operational requirements, Veeam is very good because it's so user-friendly."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"All features of Veeam Data Platform, such as backup, immutability, and replication, are highly valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having more comparably with other hardware with the immutable copy feature."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"It would be useful if we could integrate our on-premise VM solution with the Azure workload backup from the existing console. This would assist our customers in reducing the cost of hardware."
"Its reporting feature could be better."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."

"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
"I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category."
"The license subscription could be more straightforward."
