Good policies related to data
I primarily use it for various policies related to data, such as data retention, data deletion, and archiving policies. All policies can be set using this system The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities. I would like to see more integration with different platforms,…

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 flexible ways you can get to the data and the options that it gives you for backing up your valuable data are what make its offsite storage so valuable."
"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"The solution's interface, GUI (graphical user interface), and backup are good."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"Veeam ONE is being used to monitor our backup and VM servers."
"Veeam Data Platform has had a significant positive impact on my organization by reducing downtime, ensuring data safety, and enhancing ransomware protection."
"Veeam ONE is a good solution that anyone can use."
"The tool's stability is good."
"It’s a great tool and management should consider spending money for it, as it eases a lot of complexities."
"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

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Basically, the only thing I do not like about it, it was keyed off Lotus Notes."
"If there is a communication interruption (ping drops) between the proxy and the Veeam server, the backup fails."
"Pricing-wise, it’s expensive. However, the product is great and does what it says."
"Not highly customizable."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product, but it is reliable, fairly resilient, and works."
"If you do not use the standard software and you go with a third-party solution such as this one, it might not work the same. There is an integration issue I understand between the database standards."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program, but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"The support, reporting features, and customization should all be improved."
"It still doesn't feel like a fully mature solution because it's not exactly ready for very large scale and complex environments with more than 1000 VMs."
