"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature.""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 manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly.""The tool is fast and trustworthy.""One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer.""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.""It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well.""Veeam Data Platform copies data very efficiently."
