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

"The most important features is that it provides consistent cloud-based backup."
"We don't think about our backups anymore, they're that reliable."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is in its own world - Nothing out there that is even close to this product that I could recommend."
"Veeam is the gold standard for backup and recovery. The ease of use and reliability of this solution are real assets. Also, it has an ease of use to work with a third party vendor."
"It has very strong and useful features for a virtualized environment such as those based on VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features, which are very popular for my customer's needs and the solution is user-friendly."
"No time has to be spent on debugging backups."
"It is a straightforward solution; there is no need for a dedicated technical person to do the backup and replication, and Veeam is very straightforward when it comes to doing the replication."
"The most critical features of Veeam Data Platform for ensuring availability and integrity are its fast virtual machine restoration using duplication for quick backups and the COBRA point functionality that allows us to run regu"
 

Cons

"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine, but there's always room for improvement on that."
"We backup a lot of information in a 24-hour period. It works fine. But there's always room for improvement on that."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"I do have a need ever so small to have the ability to backup physical servers, this is not something Veeam offers."
"The integration with other solutions should be improved."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex."
"I don't really like the proprietary file system or file structure, I always prefer the most simple functionalities where I can define this server, this file, these folders, backing up for this target, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."
"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."
"This is an expensive solution and came at a higher cost than expected."
"They have a free edition that can back up up to 10 VMs or physical servers. Small and medium businesses can use this edition until they can afford to get a license, and after they get a license, they just activate it on the same console. That's the amazing thing about it."
"We pay for a license to use this solution, and we recommend that our customers pay for a license and a renewal license."
"I would say that the product is fairly priced."
"Its pricing is really good."
"We are fine with its pricing policy."
