Speedy and easy setup but it needs to mature
One way this solution could be improved is if they could come up with better options to migrate. As for what could be included in the next release, we have shared a couple of points with them. First, the account should be more in balance and coordinated with us. They already communicated to our project management team that they are going to implement some of these features. I would definitely recommend this solution. But as time goes on and new features are getting added the product will be more comprehensive.

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

"I would definitely recommend this solution."
"One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support."
"The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."
"Since I started working with Dell a few months ago, I have found that the solution is very strong."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful. It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market."
"The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable."
"The fact that you can mix and match, for example, you can replicate off of a backup or off of a backup copy somewhere else, or off of the source machine directly, makes it superior for me."
"Nutanix technical support is excellent; you can't get better; you won't get better."
"I have previously used many different solutions and choose Veeam for its quick and correct solutions for my problems."
"I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet."
"The restoration of files, email and entire servers have been reduced to mere minutes instead of hours or days, which it was at times."
 

Cons

"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."
"Sometimes I find that the interface is not as good as it should be."
"The interface and documentation need to improve."
"Add new features on application backup and recovery. And expand the range of applications supported."
"The software really needs to expand into physical machines backups."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"Support for physical servers. Although we are continuing to virtualize all of our servers; there are, at this time, a few physical servers in our organization."
"The price could be optimized, and I am still waiting for support for physical hardware. However, it is currently easy to back up and restore environments with this software."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"The initial setup is complex."
