Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Stability Issues

Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
I can say the stability of Veeam Data Platform is almost 8 to 9, as the cluster functionality was not there in earlier platforms such as version 12, but is provided in version 13.

Room For Improvement

Norton Small Business requires better pricing, enhanced features, and fewer notifications to improve user experience and market availability.
Veeam users seek better server integration, reduced licensing costs, improved backup performance, enhanced UI, and stronger cloud and application support.
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
L3 Infrastructure Engineer at Specsavers
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
Applications section Head at Raya Integration
 

Setup Cost

Norton Small Business offers affordable yearly licenses but frequent upsells for additional features can be a drawback for some.
Veeam Data Platform offers flexible, competitive pricing, balancing costs and value, making it suitable for enterprise backup solutions.
I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.
Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
Applications section Head at Raya Integration
 

Valuable Features

Norton Small Business offers comprehensive virus protection, secure features, multi-platform compatibility, and 24/7 support via a user-friendly dashboard.
Veeam Data Platform offers easy installation, reliable protection, scalability, and strong integration, ensuring efficient data security and recovery.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The backup for specific disks feature has helped me by allowing us to take backups specifically for data we need, rather than for the whole server as a single disk, such as just backing up the root disk.

Delivery Manager - DBA at HTC Global Services (INDIA) Private
The initial setup phase is very easy and user-friendly
I had tried Kaspersky a long time ago. I think it is available only in India. I don't know for sure. I have used that one for a couple of years, but I didn't like it, and that is the only reason I went back to Norton. Kaspersky was not safeguarding me in all aspects. I had seen some loopholes in the tool, so that is the only reason I went for Norton. The only thing I like about Kaspersky is that it supports the mobile version.
JitendraSadaye - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Technical Specialist at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
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.

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
