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.

It's easy to use and restore. Tech support is also good.
Easy to use and restore. Restoring when there is issue. Backup bigger virtual machines (VMs). Six years. No. Some big servers don't seem to backup well. Good. Straightforward. It's easy to use.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"We use Veeam because it's easy to use."
"Veeam is the gold standard for backup and recovery."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"Veeam Backup Replication is secure, they have covered almost every aspect, both in terms of security and backup and management, integration with various applications such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups as well as applications and databases is excellent, and they have added cloud integration which is a plus."
"Backup and recovery windows have been significantly improved."
"Overall, we are happy with this software and have not found any limitations to it."
"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."
"Easy to use and restore."
 

Cons

"Veeam ONE could improve by having capacity planning, intelligent automatization, and ransomware."
"We relied on the cloud backup, however, the data in the cloud ended up also getting corrupted due to the ransomware."
"Restoration takes about two to four hours with Veeam. Zerto can restore in about 10 seconds. That's the restoration speed I'm looking for now that we're dealing with ransomware."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."
"Some big servers don't seem to backup well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"It is more cost-effective than some of the other solutions, but a lot of that comes down to the fact that we're a reseller. So, depending upon the deal, we do negotiate different price points for different customers. The price varies depending upon the size of the customer, the size of the deal, and the discounts we can negotiate."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"It is relatively cheap."
"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution"

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
