Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly.""Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""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.""When it comes to service cases, I would choose Veeam Data Platform over Commvault because restoring from Commvault can be time-consuming due to filtering tasks. Veeam Data Platform, on the other hand, offers a much simpler and faster restore process.""Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense.""It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well.""The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of deployment, its many interesting functions, and its good performance for both backup and restoration."

Cons
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."

More Barracuda Backup Cons →

"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution.""Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools.""Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that.""Granular-level backup is difficult.""Setting up for my case was completely different. There were some product-level bugs that caused a lot of challenges for Veeam Data Platform. So, it took a while.""Veeam's support services need improvement.""It would be beneficial if it could expand its coverage to support Frostbox and provide greater flexibility for service providers to recommend backup solutions based on customer preferences in prospective environments.""Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."
