There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
 

Room For Improvement

<p>BDRSuite Backup &amp; Replication needs enhancements in support, interface, backup management, and integration to improve user experience and efficiency.</p>
Veeam Data Platform needs better support, automation, plugin enhancements, lower pricing, and improved scalability, security, and technology integration.
There could always be little things that could still be fixed or improved for stability.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
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

BDRSuite delivers cost-effective, flexible backup solutions with straightforward licensing, offering value over competitors like Veeam for budget-conscious businesses.
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

BDRSuite offers ease of use, automatic replication, and comprehensive features for efficient VMware and Hyper-V data protection and backups.
Veeam Data Platform offers seamless integration, user-friendly design, reliable backups, encryption, scalability, and comprehensive tools for efficient data recovery.
The features I find most valuable are ease of backup, ease of restore, the full restore, just getting some data out of a backup server or even the applications that are in the server, going through the database or going to Exchange.
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.

Redha Benlaksira - PeerSpot reviewer
The ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it lets customers choose to restore their data to an hour or a day ago
BDRSuite is better than competing solutions because it can protect, back up, and recover data. A feature called live migration allows you to recover the same data in different environments. For example, I can back up the data from a VMware machine and restore it to a Hyper-V. You can also create repositories and back up environments to a cloud platform like GCP and AWS S3 buckets. BDRSuite allows you to back up virtual machines hosted on an EC3 instance or Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SharePoint, etc. The solution allows us to recover data instantly. We can recover all our data in under 15 minutes. In a virtual environment, we can recover a virtual machine and all its data in under 15 minutes. It's the same for a NAS, SAN, or DAS disk. The ability to boot instantly enables customers to maintain their business operations without interruption. BDRSuite's ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it gives customers the option to restore their data to an hour or a day ago. They can choose a full, incremental, or synthetic backup. Incremental backup makes sense if you are backing up the same data daily and you want to save space and network resources. It only backs up the differences or updates in every block. I've worked with lots of backup solutions, and BDRSuite is the easiest to use. It's simple to install and create backup jobs. It doesn't require many tasks to install the solution. You can easily back up and restore from one console
