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 most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"One valuable feature of Veeam ONE for backup management is its dashboard, which offers a comprehensive view of backups and other essential data."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"It is cost-effective. A lot of times, people pick Veeam because of its price."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."
"I feel that the product's support team needs improvement."
"Integration with other equipment could be improved."
"Veeam Backup & Replication could improve by making it more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"We dont have the exact licensing costs, but we pay for a comprehensive service package that includes technical support, cloud services, and data center services. There may be additional costs beyond the standard license, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, I believe the yearly cost is around five thousand dollars."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have."
"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."
"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."
"Although our license includes support, we have only really used the support when we were using Veeam for Active Directory. The rest of the time, we find Veeam easy enough to use without paying extra support fees."
