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.

Pros

"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"Excellent service."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"I like the interface and that they add new features all the time, but I use it mainly for the sync option which keeps my files up to date."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its backup feature."
"The safety and reliability of data loss and retrieval has been amazing ever since we implemented Veeam."
"We are satisfied with the technical support."
"Excellent Instant recovery engine"
"It is a very solid product with an easy UI."
"It is a very good product; it does what it takes to backup virtual machines, it is easy to set up, and it is very quick."
"We had other backup solutions, but Veeam has proved to be better than VMware."
 

Cons

"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."

"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."
"We experienced a couple of issues where the Veeam ONE server went down because the SQL database grew too much, and we had to recreate it a couple of times."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"The integration with other solutions should be improved."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"The tech support could be better."
"Not highly customizable."
