configuration and management deployment at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The scanning process remained consistent with no noticeable delays, even when handling thousands of files in a short time window.

It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees

Room For Improvement

Antivirus for Amazon S3 needs enhanced file handling, integration, analytics, AI features, user-friendliness, and cost-effective solutions.
Users seek improved integration, enhanced features, better automation, and simpler configurations for Veeam Data Platform, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and usability.
Allowing us to configure an entire loop from detecting a malicious upload to contacting the uploader and taking corrective action.
Senior Manager at Deloitte
Overall, Antivirus for Amazon S3 is reliable and effective for securing S3 environments.
Team Lead, Technical Content Security at Valuepoint Systems
Granular controls represent another area for improvement. The current scanning policies apply bucket-wide. More fine-grained controls, such as scanning only certain file types, prefixes, or user uploads, would reduce unnecessary scans and improve efficiency.
Assistant Professor, Technical Trainer at DIEMS Chh.Sambhajinagar
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.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
Applications section Head at Raya Integration
 

Setup Cost

Antivirus for Amazon S3 offers cost-effective, scalable pricing at $49/month for 100GB, streamlining costs via AWS Marketplace.
Veeam Data Platform provides flexible pricing with complex licensing models, seen as reasonable but potentially costly for large-scale implementation.
Generally in this case, the more we consume, the better the pricing gets with time.
Sr. Enterprise Architect at a educational organization with 501-1,000 employees
Compared to traditional endpoint antivirus licensing, this approach saved us fifty thousand rupees annually in overhead.
Assistant Professor, Technical Trainer at DIEMS Chh.Sambhajinagar
This leads to an average of 200 to 300 notifications of malware per month globally, which gives us confidence that the antivirus is working.
Senior Manager at Deloitte
I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.
Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
Applications section Head at Raya Integration
 

Valuable Features

Antivirus for Amazon S3 offers automated malware detection, real-time scanning, and compliance support, enhancing security and efficiency.
Veeam Data Platform excels in ease of use, scalability, and data security while integrating seamlessly with virtual environments.
It adds an essential security layer for S3-based workflows which may be subject to malicious attacks and protects the overall infrastructure.
Dev Ops Engineer at a construction company with 11-50 employees
The fact that the scanning occurs within the AWS account means data never leaves your AWS account, which is also a good security feature.
Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Event-driven scanning stands out because it makes the entire workflow real-time and automatic.
configuration and management deployment at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
Solutions Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
Sr. Production Analyst at a logistics company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The backup for specific disks feature has helped me by allowing us to take backups specifically for data we need, rather than for the whole server as a single disk, such as just backing up the root disk.
DavOps at a university with 51-200 employees

Featured Reviews

Kalpesh Potghante - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at Deloitte
Secure file sharing has protected global storage and improves confidence with external partners
The best features Antivirus for Amazon S3 offers include that it is really a built-in feature which is really great, as you don't have to do anything extra, there's no operational complexity or cost overhead associated with it, and because it's a managed solution, it's easy for us to configure policies as S3 buckets are created globally and make sure they have the necessary virus protection as needed. The simplicity and ease of policy configuration have helped my team day-to-day because, as it is part of the AWS ecosystem, I don't need to really hire a separate skill set to configure this service, and moreover, if I use the console, all the features are available to me at a click, and I can also programmatically control it, making configuring the antivirus part of setting S3 objects rather than setting up a separate service altogether on top of S3.
JitendraSadaye - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Technical Specialist at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
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.
