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

"The solution's most valuable feature is that its reports are detailed compared to other tools."
"The product is very straightforward and very easy to use from the client-side."
"Veeam was very easy to use, set up, and manage."
"With this product we are able to drastically reduce our backup and restore times."
"ROI for backup point of view comes only when you are in a condition that only backup can help, I have been in such conditions many times in which Veeam has proved to be an EXCELLENT ROI for my company."
"In Veeam backup, the most valuable feature for me is the recovery, as it allows me to recover almost immediately while I continue fixing the problem of the affected machine."
"The product’s configuration and settings are very easy."
"It has improved my organization by 90%."
"Customer Service: Second to none Technical Support: Second to none"
"It takes less time to replicate files between two servers."
"In Version 7.xx the most valuable feature to me is being able to carry out a test full server failover in which case the primary server is still up and running."
"It gives us the possibility to migrate/protect customer servers and data in the simplest way."
 

Cons

"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."
"We are a reseller and implementation company, so we handle both of these aspects as concerns the software of many different back up tools, but Veeam lags far behind the competition."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"The restore process is somewhat complicated for Veeam Data Platform."
"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."
"Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows and can't take backups of Linux or other operating systems."
"Yes I encountered issues with deployment. The information provided in the guide just stated about 2 or 3 communication ports but even after these ports are enabled there are still issues with the 2 servers communicating via Double-Take."
"Not such a good coverage of the most widely used Linux server distributions, so many issues happen while migrating these servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Veeam Data Platform's pricing is affordable."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"Veeam's pricing is good. But compared to the past five years, it's constantly increasing."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper. Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality."
"I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons."
