Backup policies have strengthened security and replication but still need flexible long-term retention
The support and compatibility are areas of concern. When it comes to Azure workloads, Veeam Data Platform has limitations with only MS SQL database and Cosmos, and no other databases are supported by Veeam Backup for Azure. The main challenge I noticed is that enterprise customers may have a requirement to retain backups for 10 years or 15 years with monthly and weekly backups. In Veeam Data Platform, we do not have customization or compatibility to retain specific data backups as monthly and yearly. The retention schedule is fixed. For instance, it is the first Friday of the backup or the last Friday of the month. If it is weekly, it should be one of the weeks. If it is monthly, it should be the last Friday. For yearly, it is the last Friday of that respective month in that year. However, this should not be the case. When a customer confirms, 'Please go and take an EOD backup and retain it for 10 years,' Veeam Data Platform does not support this sort of customization. I even raised a case with Veeam Data Platform and they clearly stated that Veeam Data Platform only accepts the GFS policy according to the retention defined, and there is no customization available. This is a significant limitation. I should have the customization to go and take a backup of a specific date, month, or year, but Veeam Data Platform does not allow this and restricts me to only the policy supported. For example, if I take any backup, I do not have an option to extend the retention. If a customer asks, 'Please take a backup,' and later requests, 'No, it is very critical. Can you please extend the retention for 15 years?' Veeam Data Platform does not support this. Veeam Data Platform does not allow me to extend the retention in the way other tools do. These are limitations I came across in my experience, and I feel these are minimal requirements. The same features are offered by other third-party backup tools available in the market. From the analytics point of view, I personally feel some challenges. Veeam Data Platform has two different products: VBR and Veeam Backup for Azure. As we are running on cloud platforms, if we are in Azure, we must go for Veeam Backup for Azure. If we need to create copy jobs, I must again come to VBR. However, Veeam ONE is not capable enough to integrate both platforms. For instance, if I am taking backup of workloads through Veeam Backup for Azure, I could not find an option to integrate it into Veeam ONE for reports and analytics. It is only limited to VBR. Whatever jobs we created in VBR are displayed there, but Veeam Backup for Azure does not integrate, at least from what I have explored, and it should not be this way. Veeam ONE should support all Veeam Data Platform products.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
"I can't think of any improvements yet for Veeam because they are very good. It integrates very well with Microsoft applications. It is very easy to integrate. Micro Focus can also integrate but it's more complex. You have to know the product very well to be able to integrate. While Veeam, it's very user-friendly. You don't need to have certifications or anything to work on Veeam."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
"It helps with process restoration, and with Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"After we started using Veeam, we transferred all our 30 virtual servers in seven hours to our disaster recovery side."
"The stability of Veeam ONE is good."
"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"I think Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO."
 

Cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The database backup process could be improved. It would be beneficial to enhance this feature and also consider the addition of a web interface to increase accessibility."
"Veeam Data Platform could benefit from a simpler UI, deeper cloud-native features, more advanced analytics, and enhanced automation for larger-scale recovery."
"The database backup process could be improved."
"Agent backups could be better. I have many problems with agent backups, particularly on Linux and MySQL databases. MySQL works well with Microsoft products but not with other products. The database backups are not working correctly, and we are losing business. I am not getting any support; administration is also a significant problem."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"The performance is slow when making changes."
"For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs."
"Technical support can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication has been increasing their price and my customers are asking why. They have CPU-based licenses and a Universal License, the prices should be reduced."
"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."
"Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing."
"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
