Fast data recovery for large scale datasets
The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.

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

"Overall, this solution has been very cost-effective for us."
"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"If you say no to Veeam One, at least implement it in your Lab environment, it will change your mind."
"The technical support is so helpful because the team is in the USA and the people are fast."
"This product is user-friendly."
"I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs."
"We had other backup solutions, but Veeam has proved to be better than VMware."
"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."
"Its most valuable features are seeding and faster backups over small links."
"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI; for example, better graphs and statistics so that you have a better vision of what exactly you have stored."
"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
"The tech support could be better."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"The initial setup could be simplified. It takes some time to get through the knowledge base and the changes in the versions over time."
"The tech support needs improvement."
"The solution is snapshot-based with no vCloud Director integration and a very incomplete knowledge base."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"They need to address the confusing recovery dialogue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing structure for Veeam ONE has changed to what is now called the "VUL" or "Universal License". Previously, people mainly used socket licenses, but this has now changed. The new pricing structure was introduced last year."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
"It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap."
