Room For Improvement

Veeam Data Cloud users seek better pricing, performance, scalability, intuitive UI, integration, backup speed, documentation, and support improvements.

Veeam Data Platform needs better integration, speed, support, flexibility, and affordability to meet user demands for large environments.

One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at twenty-eight dollars per user for one year.

IT and Cloud Platform Unit Architect at MAINT

Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it.

Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can be improved by making it more affordable.

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.

OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.

Tamer Hossam

Applications section Head at Raya Integration

Setup Cost

Veeam Data Cloud is subscription-based, with mixed pricing opinions, but valued for functionality, reliability, and educational discounts.

Veeam Data Platform offers reasonable pricing with predictable per-CPU socket licensing but can be costly for smaller businesses.

Transitioning to a cloud solution was not cost-effective for us.

FernandoAlbert

CTO at iFoco

The initial onboarding plus the initial expenses are slightly more when compared to another cloud-to-cloud backup.

Manager, Information Technology at Greencoast Enterprises LLC

I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.

reviewer2730012

A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.

Featured Reviews

Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings

Manager, Information Technology at Greencoast Enterprises LLC

Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

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.
