Simply provides single-vendor, consistent cloud-based backup
I would say that the room for improvement comes under the heading of performance. We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that. If they would make my 24-hour backup cycle window, from start to finish, a 15-hour or a 12-hour backup window, I'd be that much happier. Just to be clear, there's no time consumption on the part of my staff. This runs fully automatically. But the concern is that when you do backups, you want your backup window to be as narrow as possible. Actually, our backup window is 20 hours, and it gets done in 20 hours. Because, the longer it lingers, the more of a window there is for a disaster to knock you down.

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

"We don't think about our backups anymore, they're that reliable."
"The most important features is that it provides consistent cloud-based backup."
"Backups and restoration are 100% successful, plus we have the ability to automate backup recoverability tests."
"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."
"For us, it's a simple solution for our complex environment."
"It has improved our organization; I don't have to spend all day troubleshooting backups, so it has freed up a lot of time."
"Veeam Backup allows FLEXdata Solutions to offer a more complete data protection strategy to our client-base, and one that delivers greater business value than the majority of legacy backup solutions in-place today."
"If most, or all, of your environment is based on virtual machines and you want something that is simple to install, configure and manage but above all else, something that backs up and restores your data successfully then Veeam is your product."
"Veeam is the best one that understands and integrates easily with virtual infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the continuous backup."
 

Cons

"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that."
"It would be nice if the solution scanned for malware in the backups."
"This VMotion feature is not mastered by any expert and we don't use it for replication."
"Being able to Backup from Cloud Services like Azure Better Logging to assist you in determining root causes of failures Better Traffic Throttle Monitoring"
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution could improve the performance. We are not able to check the status of any system. Additionally, if there was an option to monitor server clusters it would be helpful."
"The automation could be better."
"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 DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
