AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery receives praise for excellent customer service, effective issue resolution, and timely enterprise-level support.
Sentiment score

Veeam Data Platform's support is praised for expertise and efficiency, though some desire improved communication and response speed.
In case of any issue, they are ready to provide support within the defined SLA timeline.
I would rate their technical support a 10 out of 10.
Most cases are handled perfectly.
 

Scalability Issues

7.4
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is praised for adaptability and scalability, with positive feedback on data replication and performance consistency.
Sentiment score
7.5
Veeam Data Platform provides robust scalability across environments, easily expanding through proxies or licenses, supporting seamless workload scaling.
It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is stable and reliable, despite occasional server issues and concerns over high data replication costs.
Sentiment score
7.9
Veeam Data Platform is reliable, but scaling and specific configurations like Oracle backups and Azure scale-out may cause issues.
It is very good and very reliable.
AWS is not difficult, but the cost associated with replicating data to another region can be significant.
There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery needs enhanced UI, automation, issue logging, and affordability, with desired AI-driven features and streamlined processes.
Veeam Data Platform needs better support, automation, plugin enhancements, lower pricing, and improved scalability, security, and technology integration.
This would detail user activity directly in the ACL console for easier debugging and auditing.
In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status.
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.
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
Compared to IBM, Veeam Data Platform is simpler but brings some challenges with automation in backup and Oracle backup configuration.
 

Setup Cost

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery provides flexible tiered pricing, but cumulative costs and inflexible contracts can be drawbacks for some users.
Veeam Data Platform offers cost-effective, flexible licensing with minimal setup costs, making it attractive to enterprise buyers.
I believe it is not expensive; it's the regular price.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
 

Valuable Features

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery offers seamless, reliable, and cost-effective cloud replication, ensuring protection, scalability, and security for critical workloads.
Veeam Data Platform offers seamless integration, user-friendly design, reliable backups, encryption, scalability, and comprehensive tools for efficient data recovery.
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Service is a native service, integration is seamless.
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication.

Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
