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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's support team is excellent."
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The documentation is very good. It's also easy to install Veeam Backup and Replication."
"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"The product is very straightforward and very easy to use from the client-side."
"All features of Veeam Data Platform, such as backup, immutability, and replication, are highly valuable."
"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."
"Very reliable and easy to use."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs."
"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"Offering mobile apps that give engineers a global view of his backup regime would be a "nice to have" feature."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
"Compared to IBM, Veeam Data Platform is simpler but brings some challenges with automation in backup and Oracle backup configuration."
"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"I have not used the resale license in our testing environments. Sometimes, our customers used the trial license for 30 days and so on."
"We pay yearly licensing fees for Veeam in our data centers where we're using disaster recovery and replication between our many solutions, especially cloud solutions. From the beginning, we've done our licensing from a separate channel through our data center team in Seattle."
"On a one to ten scale, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as a five out of ten."
"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."
"The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
"We have increased our scalability while being able to free up senior resources from recovery activities. I estimate our overall savings to about $20,000 per year."
