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."
"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"It is a straightforward solution. There is no need for a dedicated technical person to do the backup and replication. Veeam is very straightforward when it comes to doing the replication."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."
"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."
"The solution is rather weak when it comes to database integration."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"The threshold could be easier to configure."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
"Several licensing schemes are available."
"The cost is based on the number of core servers."
"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
"The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have."
"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
