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."
"Let me start by mentioning that, before Veeam, my company used to backup data with Microsoft Robocopy; backup times now are more than ten times faster and the data to be moved is only a fraction."
"If you have your VMware virtualization, then Veeam Backup is the best option out there to back up that kind of environment."
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"The solution's interface, GUI (graphical user interface), and backup are good."
"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
"Nothing beats Veeam when it comes to Backup in a virtual environment."
"This product gave us the ability to have a single notification point about global infrastructure."
"The solution is stable and absolutely reliable, and it's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
 

Cons

"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that."
"Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs."
"We are now looking to move off of DataDomain due to restore speeds."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
"Since they don’t have any technical support center in India, I would like to rate it a 5 out of 10."
"In future releases, I would like to see the solution provide auto resolution and auto relocation of resources."
"Random CBT errors during backup jobs."
"I think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
