Fast data recovery for large scale datasets
The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.

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

"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable."
"The most valuable data protection features in Veeam are encryption and error handling."
"The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations."
"Simple and stable."
"The solution's interface, GUI (graphical user interface), and backup are good."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for direct backup to tape."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"When you have to renew the licenses you sometimes have some trouble getting rid of the old one and reassigning it to the new one. That's an aspect that could run smoother and could be better."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
