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

"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"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."
"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."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"It helps with process restoration, and with Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"This product helps because when something has changed that we didn't know about or didn't want to be modified, and we find out about it the following day, we can go back to exactly where we were and when it worked perfectly."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"We've got customers all over the spectrum, and some customers do switch to Veeam because of its ease of use and its price point."
"My advice would be to go ahead with the implementation as I think it's the best product on market today for VMware ESXi disaster recovery."
"We had a vendor screw up a financial accounting program at tax season, a critical time for one of our customers, and we were able to roll the VM back in under five minutes, and users were back on the software in under 10 minutes from restore."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward for me."
"My technical team can provide a more accurate answer regarding experience with its recovery speed and reliability, but we haven't had any issues with it."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"I would like to be able to edit the files at the same time with the others, but I understand that this is not possible with the cloud solutions in general."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"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."
"I think it would be great to have the ability to use WAN acceleration as an integrated feature for local backup storage to save a lot more space."
"Different types of licenses could not be used on the same Veeam server in the past, it would be good to be able to use mixed types of licenses in the same server."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
"The tech support could be better. I rate it as a six out of ten. Though this is not frequent, when we have had need to resort to it, we found it to not be good."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"Although this product is technically designed for virtual environments, it would be very useful if the same concepts or technology is applied to backup physical servers."
"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December."
"The solution is snapshot-based with no vCloud Director integration and a very incomplete knowledge base."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."
"The licensing fee depends on the licensing model we choose."
"Its software solution has a fee."
"It is relatively cheap."
"On a one to ten scale, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as a five out of ten."
"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
"It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions."
