This would help us address issues promptly, especially during unforeseen events like DDoS attacks.
Cloudflare does not offer hands-on technical support to fix customer problems but rather a self-service model.
You can get a support engineer with the best qualifications.
Most cases are handled perfectly.
I see good technical engineer support resolving issues.

Sentiment score
8.1
Veritas Backup Exec is scalable for SMBs, but may face challenges with large data volumes and complex environments.
It is a SaaS tool, but the fact that they have workloads deployed across the world proves that it is a highly scalable tool.
The tool offers very good performance, even during high-traffic periods.
I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.
It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.
Now in the current version, I can run more than one process for backup in one job for more virtual machines.

Cloudflare is generally stable and reliable, but occasional issues with downtime, speed, and DDoS protection are reported.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.
The service is very stable with no impacts during high-traffic periods.
There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
 

Room For Improvement

Cloudflare needs analytics, threat insights, improved support, user-friendly dashboards, and simplified pricing, with consistent caching and security features.
Code42 Incydr could enhance support, efficiency, and features, especially for newcomers and those relying on content-specific filtering.
Veeam Data Platform needs better integration, improved usability, fortified security, and simplified licensing to address pricing concerns and expand capabilities.
Veritas Backup Exec requires a simpler UI, cost reduction, cloud integration, better performance, and improved support for diverse environments.
There's a need for improvement in areas like AI-based DDoS attacks and Layer 7 WAF features.
Despite these challenges, overall, Cloudflare remains the preferred solution compared to Azure, AWS CloudFront, and Google Cloud Armor.
It doesn't work if you want to look up the hostname from an IPA address.
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.
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.
Some technology improvement is needed to manage my basic business continuity plan.
I aim to monitor the functionality and probably find something this year to monitor logs from our backup system and storage and notify us about any unusual activities.
We need to have a proper image backup with a documented restore procedure, as some users were unable to do the image backup restoration due to driver issues or similar challenges.
 

Setup Cost

Cloudflare offers flexible pricing with plans for small businesses to enterprises, balancing cost with comprehensive features and protection.
Veeam Data Platform offers competitive pricing with flexible licensing but can be costly, particularly for larger environments and cloud integration.
Veritas Backup Exec provides flexible licensing with reasonable pricing, though advanced setups and technical support may incur additional costs.
That's where Cloudflare shines for smaller businesses – it's ten times cheaper than Akamai.
I find it to be cheap.
I think they should consider reevaluating the pricing for support, as it can be quite high.
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.
From what I know, it is expensive to add modules, with a scale rating of eight out of ten.
When I compare it with others, it is twice or three times cheaper.
The setup is a bit expensive at a corporate price
 

Valuable Features

Cloudflare offers caching, DDoS protection, and CDN services, enhancing website speed and security with intuitive interface and global reach.
Code42 Incydr is user-friendly, offers continuous backups, excellent visibility for remote workforces, and customizable risk-scoring with minimal resource use.
Veeam Data Platform offers user-friendly management, rapid recovery, seamless integration, virtual backup, and strong data protection features.
Veritas Backup Exec is praised for its user-friendly interface, fast backups, stability, and versatile platform compatibility with strong support.
The most valuable features of the solution are performance and security.
Techniques like minification and image compression reduce the size of assets, leading to better performance and faster user load times.
The solution has been able to compare it to the market, and I think the product has taken great strides in automating quite a bit of things, and they use a lot of AI.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance.
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication.
Veritas has technical compatibility with my hardware and other systems.
It has a lot of functions and security measures, which ensure our backups are secure.
My customers find the normal file system backup features of Veritas Backup Exec effective and valuable.

Carlos Alam Hernandez Baruch - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast and secure deployments simplify operations for government and fintech clients
It is a fast and secure DNS. It is very easy to deploy, and my customers are happy with this tool. Additionally, the CDN performance in Mexico is excellent, providing fast service and tools. It offers reliability during high-traffic periods, ensuring no impact on the environment. It helps my clients avoid using on-premise boxes, simplifying operations as they only use the prices on Cloudflare.
Chuck_Mackey - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides comprehensive visibility and protection, helps in identifying the gaps in security, and comes with excellent onboarding support
In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.

Simplified interface with good performance but needs monitoring
I need to use PowerStore and Veritas Backup Exec. It is a direct backup to types, and it is supported by my backup. It offers good performance and stability, and it works properly. I am happy with this program. It is still working on aligning with security requirements and data encryption for Amazon or ATAC. It has a lot of functions and security measures, which ensure our backups are secure.
