I find Veeam Data Platform to be an excellent solution with numerous features. It serves as a highly effective choice for backup, replication, and disaster recovery in my opinion.
Technical Assistant at EOCD
Provides radical resiliency through secure backup and fast, reliable recovery solutions for hybrid and multi-cloud environments
Pros and Cons
- "I think Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO."
- "Regarding managing LQ or Liberty delivery, there was no system initially; it was solely for backing up Vista Disc. I suggested enhancing this option. However, my experience with Dibree was unsatisfactory. I recommended adding Azure for EBMI XPower backup and incorporating SolarWinds for end-of-month risk processes, which were not part of the initial solution."

A stable and scalable backup solution that has a good recovery data backup feature
Pros and Cons
- "Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
- "The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
What is our primary use case?
It is used both as a virtual server and a physical server for enterprise backup that run different applications.
How has it helped my organization?
What is most valuable?
Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper. Also, Veeam should provide more training for the partners so that they are able to give better support to customers. In the next release, I want to see full integration with the cloud.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for more than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. Stability depends on the implementation. If you make an error in implementation, the environment will not be stable once you get it right through an implementation; remember, it will be stable. Most of the time, the software is very stable; it's human usage and implementation. That's why it's important to do the proper gathering of information and proper assessment of the environment before you do anything.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
Some renew, and some don't renew the support. Those who know the value of it will always renew it because if there's any issue, we can always go to the backend to get the system. After all, they're the experts on it.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. I rate its setup phase an eight out of ten. The deployment does not take more than a week once you do the initial information gathering properly. Install it on a physical server, maybe Windows or Linux, then install the clients to this agent, in other sense, if there's any agent for it on the respective servers that need the agents.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
It is recommended that those planning to use the solution follow the best practices for implementation. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

What is our primary use case?
I use the solution to backup the VMware environment and Linux servers.
What is most valuable?
The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable.
What needs improvement?
The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is stable. I rate it nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is scalable.

The technical support team is good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive

How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment takes one hour. One engineer can look after the deployment. After the solution is setup it hardly requires any maintenance, just time-to-time updates are required.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a Return on Investment, in terms of saving time and money.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing of the solution is fair.
What other advice do I have?
Veeam is a good solution and one should be committed to it.
I rate it nine out of ten.

Easy-to-use solution with a responsive support team
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is really easy and straightforward to use."
- "The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for customers who want to back up their VMware environment.
What is most valuable?
The solution is really easy and straightforward to use. If we want to configure something using Veeam ONE, we don't need much time to study the management interface. Our customers appreciate the solution's ease of use.
Recovery is the most important thing when we create a backup, which works fine on Veeam ONE. We can also use the shared backup and run recovery tests when needed.
What needs improvement?
The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems. Backing up SAP HANA with the solution is not very convenient. The solution also does not support the backups of uncommon databases, which prevents it from spreading across the market.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the solution for the past five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is quite good. I would rate it a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is very good. Ten of our customers use the solution. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The support is quite responsive and fast. It depends on what kind of support package you have paid for, but generally, it's fine.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very easy.
What about the implementation team?
It takes us half a day to install and configure the systems. The time taken for deployment depends on how big the environment is.
To deploy the solution, install it first on the virtual machine or the physical systems, then install it on the Windows physical machine. Then, set up the accounts in the physical or virtual servers. Finally, connect the repository for the pickups and configure the backup jobs.
We need one or two administrators and engineers to deploy the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing fee depends on the licensing model we choose. We can pay for on-premise licensing. We can also choose to pay a yearly fee for support, or we can pre-pay for support five years in advance.
Now, the solution also provides a subscription model. Additional costs depend on the kind of product we purchase.
What other advice do I have?
Veeam has an Essentials edition and an Enterprise edition for larger environments. People who want to use the solution should choose the on-premise licensing instead of the subscription model because it will be much cheaper. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Good support, easy to deploy, and stable
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
- "I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution to monitor the services within the backend servers and to check the inventory of our infrastructure. I also use the solution to generate advanced reports.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent.
What needs improvement?
I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware. Additionally, I would like the ability to integrate with Nutanix. There is room for improvement in this area.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for almost one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable but we are not planning on scaling up at this time.
We have three people using the solution within our organization.

The technical support for Veeam, as a whole, is good for ticketing, and also for support.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment without any customization takes only two minutes.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation is completed in-house.
What other advice do I have?
I give the solution an eight out of ten.
I recommend that potential new users familiarize themselves with what they want to monitor and the information they need about their infrastructure. Veeam ONE is highly compatible with VMware, but not with other solutions such as Nutanix or other hypervisors, so it may be more challenging to integrate the solution with hypervisors other than VMware. Nevertheless, Veeam ONE can still provide the necessary information and benefits for organizations.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
