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."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"The most valuable data protection features in Veeam are encryption and error handling."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"The tool is a stable backup solution."
"This is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment."
"I think that Veeam could improve some performance issues when the backup itself is restored. I'm also using HPE StoreOnce, which has deduplication, and when I'm trying to test or run backups, it takes a lot of time. I think they could improve the testing for backup copies."
"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."
"In future releases, I would like to see the solution provide auto resolution and auto relocation of resources."
"For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs."
"Compared to IBM, Veeam Data Platform is simpler but brings some challenges with automation in backup and Oracle backup configuration."
"The documentation and communication could be better in Veeam Backup Replication."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."
"I acknowledge there are concerns about pricing, specifically in gaining more customers for VM. We've encountered difficulties in convincing them due to pricing issues. So, I rate it a six."
"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."
"I don't have an issue with the price of Veeam Backup Replication."
"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
"This is an expensive solution and came at a higher cost than expected."
"We have a yearly perpetual license."
"The product is inexpensive."
