Veeam Data Platform Reviews

The solution's interface, GUI (graphical user interface), and backup are good.

The solution’s scalability could be improved. Veeam Data Platform has limitations for features like Hyper-V and open-source hypervisors outside VMware.

I have been using Veeam Data Platform for five years.

Normally, the solution is not very stable when we back up big databases.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten for stability.

It’s not very easy to scale the solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability a six out of ten.

The troubleshooting provided by the technical support team needs to be improved.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

One person can deploy the solution in two to four hours.

We have seen a good return on investment with the solution. Veeam Data Platform has helped save 70% of our time.

Veeam Data Platform's pricing is affordable.

Veeam Data Platform is not a good solution for customers who do not use VMware. Veeam Data Platform doesn't have storage and needs to integrate with other vendors for storage. Customers using anything other than VMware should clarify all the requirements and limitations of Veeam Data Platform before using it. It is easy to integrate the solution with other systems like Lenovo and Dell.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the product as a backup solution during emergency scenarios. 

One thing we like about the product is that it's good and not as expensive as similar products. Right now, there are different ways to back up your information—you can back up directly to a disk or the cloud. It allows you to have various kinds of repositories.

It would be nice to see more affordable training options for individuals who want to enhance their skills. Some people I know have been interested in training courses, but they found them too expensive.

Veeam Backup & Replication is a stable product. 

I rate Veeam Backup & Replication's scalability as nine out of ten. 

The product is stable and takes care of everything we need. We've only had to ask for support a few times, but each time, they've been really helpful.

Positive

The main difference between the solution and its competitors is based on pricing. Other products are more expensive. 

Veeam Backup & Replication's installation is simple. 

Every backup solution is like car insurance. You'll see the return when you have a problem. If you don't have any problems, you won't see the value of a backup solution. You realize the value when something goes wrong. It helps you feel more confident that you can recover the information if something happens to your company.

The solution's pricing is cheap. 

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten. 

We use the solution to store the backups in other devices and local servers.

The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files. Veeam Data Platform is easy to use.

We do not use all the options the solution provides, and it could be made simpler. Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it.

I have been using Veeam Data Platform for less than one year.

The solution’s initial setup is not difficult.

The solution can be deployed within one day.

I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate Veeam Data Platform an eight out of ten.

I worked on a project involving a multi-cloud environment, specifically backing up on-prem servers to the Azure cloud. However, the project was not completed due to financial issues between our company and the client. The technical configuration, such as creating a Veeam Data Platform plugin on Azure and connecting it with on-prem servers, was mostly done, but the project was halted before creating jobs. The challenges were financial and not technical. This was my first and last experience with such a multi-cloud project. 

One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer.

The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products. 

I have been using the product for one and a half years.

We have faced several issues with Acronis because their support hasn't been as helpful compared to Veeam Data Platform's support. It has been very supportive and has assisted us in many cases. Unfortunately, our experiences with Acronis support have not been as positive, leading us to discontinue working with Acronis for several months now.

Positive

The solution is worth its money. 

Veeam Data Platform has a significant difference compared to other tools or products. It is not very simple because it offers a lot of advanced features that can solve various problems in customers' environments. However, managing it is not difficult, but it's not as straightforward as Acronis, which is simpler because it focuses on core features like backup and simple recovery without many additional complexities. 

I find that I rarely encounter issues with the product. One notable aspect is the simplicity of its licensing, especially when compared to other vendors. Additionally, with each use, I discover more features. 

I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.

Most of the features and capabilities we implemented for our clients using the Veeam backup solution revolve around enhancing their backup processes. These include functionalities such as backup encryption, immutable storage, integration with various object cloud storage platforms like AWS Cloud, and ensuring compatibility with multiple object cloud platforms.

The backup and disaster recovery process within the Data Platform is exceptionally user-friendly. Whether you're performing a backup or restoring data, the graphical user interface makes it straightforward. All capabilities can be accessed with ease, thanks to the intuitive design of the interface.

The reliability of the Veeam Data Platform has been consistently satisfactory in our deployments. We have encountered no issues, and all of our clients have expressed satisfaction with its performance.

We are particularly pleased with the DIP, especially given our focus on the Nutanix platform. DIP with Nutanix virtualization has been especially valuable to us.

The inclusion of important functions and capabilities, such as ransomware protection and scanning, was crucial. It's noteworthy that these features are already available in version twelve, which is a significant enhancement.

When utilizing Veeam to manage RTO and RPO objectives, the primary focus lies in minimizing recovery time (RTO) and ensuring effective project or object management. Branches, especially those with high IO and ITO demands, such as those in SANX deployments, prioritize data visibility before backup and archiving. Typically, lower RPOs are managed by the recovery features of the virtualization layer. Our primary aim is usually to achieve the shortest RPO feasible within the specified parameters. However, in our deployments, the shortest configured RPO is based on the specific requirements of our clients.

Managing multiple cloud environments with the Veeam Data Platform is highly effective. The platform offers robust support for major cloud providers like AWS. I've personally tested its integration with AWS and iOS and found it to be extremely straightforward and user-friendly.

Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense. This includes the ability to integrate with immutable repositories, safeguarding your data against ransomware attacks. Additionally, the platform provides integrated anti-malware detection capabilities, and it allows seamless integration with third-party endpoint security solutions to further enhance data security.

I think there's an opportunity for improvement in terms of the supported operating systems for the Veeam Data Platform. Currently, it's limited to the Windows operating system, excluding Linux environments. Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement. 

I have been working with it for approximately six years.

I would rate its stability abilities eight out of ten.

Its scalability capabilities are eight out of ten. The maximum supported capacity of the current version of Windows determines the capacity limitations for the Veeam Data Platform, as it is dependent on the operating system. This serves as a constraint for the platform. It is suitable for businesses of varying sizes, including small, medium, and enterprise-level organizations.

I would rate its customer service and support nine out of ten.

Positive

Setting up the system initially is straightforward.

It's quite flexible—you can begin with a single license that supports ten instances and scale up based on your specific requirements. I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors.

Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

I use my company mostly to monitor Veeam O365's licensing and backup. In our company, we don't use it for infrastructure monitoring.

The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it works well for our company. The main feature we use of Veeam ONE in our company is Veeam O365.

I have no visibility on what needs to be improved in the solution.

For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the solution. The price of the product should be reduced.

I have been using Veeam ONE for six months to a year for two of our infrastructures.

Since I haven't received any feedback from my team related to the stability of the product in our company, I rate the product's stability a ten out of ten.

I don't have any visibility over the scalability options offered by the product.

Only two or three people in my organization work with the solution.

The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.

I wasn't involved in the initial setup phase of the product.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in less than half a day.

Though I am not sure about how many people are required to take care of the deployment and maintenance of the product, I am sure that the two or three people who use the solution handle it.

With the use of Veeam ONE, our company was able to identify technical problems in our Veeam infrastructure, and we were also able to do some optimization work with its help.

My company needs to pay towards the licensing cause attached to the solution on a monthly basis as my company operates as a service provider. The product is expensive.

My company did not evaluate other options against Veeam ONE.

The product fits well according to the needs of our company.

Veeam ONE is a simple product that is easy to use, and it provides good visibility of the environments in which it functions.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

The solution is used for backup and restore. It can also be used for VM replication.

I like almost everything about the product. Backup and restore features are valuable. They develop everything. If a competitor invents a new feature, the vendor also implements it.

The product must provide better security. It must provide an integration with a tool that has ransomware protection.

I have been using the solution for about ten years.

The tool is rock solid. It is very, very stable.

There are huge systems for which Veeam is not big enough, but we can partition the big environment and install several Veeam instances. The tool scales very well. We face no issues. The product is suitable for the smallest to the biggest enterprises. There is a free community edition that is limited to ten virtual machines. If we buy a license, we can scale up to 1000 instances.

The support is one of the best I have seen. The team has a quick response time and provides quality feedback. The team is proactive. I am really happy with the product.

I have worked with IBM and Data Protector. Veeam is better because it focuses on a single product.

The initial setup is simple. With just a couple of clicks, we can install the product. However, it depends on how complex the environment is. Compared to other products, it is quite straightforward. We mostly deploy the solution on-premises. However, we can get opportunities to implement the cloud version as a service provider or back up an organization’s cloud infrastructure.

The price is not low, but we get value for our money. We don't want a cheap product. We want a good product. The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides.

I recommend the solution to others. There is some room for improvement. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

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.

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.                

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.

I have been using Veeam Data Platform since 10 years.

I would rate the stability 9 out of 10.

I would rate the scalability 9 out of 10. Generally, our clients fall into the medium-sized category.

There are processes needed to enhance support. Technical support is an area that needs improvement.

Neutral

I find the solution to be easily understandable and trouble-free. Deployment is straightforward, and I've had a positive experience with it. Currently, I haven't deployed with Azure or Microsoft thirteen hundred fifty-five, but I may explore that in the future for a better understanding.

I acknowledge there are concerns about pricing, specifically in gaining more customers for VM. We've encountered difficulties in convincing them due to pricing issues. So, I rate it a six.

We strongly advocate using Veeam for specific cases, particularly for backup services and Disaster Recovery as a Service. These are the two primary cases we utilize to enhance our customer solutions.

On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate this product as an eight.

We use the solution to back up all our products, like Exchange, SharePoint, Linux, Windows, Oracle, and SQL.

The solution has a user-friendly interface.

The solution's admin scheduling scripts need improvement. Also, import and export processes for information and policies could be better.

I have been using the solution for six months.

I rate the solution's stability as a nine.

I rate the solution's scalability as a nine.

The solution's customer support team is responsive and efficient. It resolves the issues promptly.

We have used IBM TSM and Symantec NetBackup before. In comparison, the solution is simple to use, integrates well with third-party solutions, and has dedicated technical experts.

I rate the solution as a nine out of ten.

It is used both as a virtual server and a physical server for enterprise backup that run different applications.

Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature.

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.

I have been using the solution for more than five years.

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.

It is a scalable solution. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.

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.

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.

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.

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.
