Has improved error detection significantly but still needs deeper integration with intelligent automation
I have been using Unomaly or LM Envision by LogicMonitor for a year for internal purposes. I personally don't use metrics to evaluate Unomaly's performance as I have a team who handles that aspect. The endgame has moved towards agentic AI. Two years back, it was supposed to be the endgame with ML and prediction anomaly. The world has moved on. Having Unomaly, even the best anomaly doesn't make too much of a difference. The endgame is now about the metrics of autonomy rather than anomaly. What is the degree of autonomy? What is the return on autonomy? Those are the metrics I'm more interested in than just having the anomaly. The world order has shifted, and the KPIs have shifted. They already have Gen AI and agentic AI features, but we haven't used them so far. I will continue to use it in the future for now as it's only been a year. We don't want to change anything internally for now. I would recommend Unomaly to other customers because anybody using observability can and should use Unomaly in the new world. I can't think of any types of companies I would not recommend it to because observability cannot exist without Unomaly nowadays. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate Unomaly a seven.

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

"Unomaly's anomaly detection capabilities contribute to maintaining system reliability; we cannot find all errors humanly, we cannot configure every possible threshold, and in the new world of intelligence and AI, we need to have this intelligent way of finding out the anomalies."
"The flexibility provided by Veeam Data Platform's hybrid deployment options is very simple, efficient, and user-friendly."
"It has very good stability."
"For me, it's perfect. We don't have any problems with backups and applications."
"Veeam Backup Replication is highly reliable; one engineer can cover the entire backup solution for the whole organization."
"We were able to recover our investment on Veeam within about 8 months, largely due to reduced licensing costs initially but mainly from a reduction in the management overheads and the previous babysitting we had to do of our backup solution."
"Cloud integration is a good option."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
 

Cons

"Having Unomaly, even the best anomaly doesn't make too much of a difference."
"Direct SAN to SAN replication – it didn’t integrate well with the 3PAR SAN that we had."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"I'd like to see better training offered online."
"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."
"Veeam Backup Replication has agents for Linux, but they are not supporting Cluster Shared Volumes."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have."
"The price is affordable."
"It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions."
"The changes in pricing have been an interesting aspect. It seems to have become pricier, resulting in a reduction in affordability. There are extra expenses involved, including hardware requirements and the procurement of operating system licenses, which must also be taken into account. I would rate the price seven out of ten."
"We purchase a license annually."
