Data restoration is the most valuable feature.
If I access my documents from the mobile app, I am also able to share these documents with accounts in other apps such as email, WhatsApp, Dropbox, google drive, etc. What I'd like is to be able to share a document or folder with other Mozy accounts (users), with limits of either under the same admin domains or even with other domains.

Backup policies have strengthened security and replication but still need flexible long-term retention
The support and compatibility are areas of concern. When it comes to Azure workloads, Veeam Data Platform has limitations with only MS SQL database and Cosmos, and no other databases are supported by Veeam Backup for Azure. The main challenge I noticed is that enterprise customers may have a requirement to retain backups for 10 years or 15 years with monthly and weekly backups. In Veeam Data Platform, we do not have customization or compatibility to retain specific data backups as monthly and yearly. The retention schedule is fixed. For instance, it is the first Friday of the backup or the last Friday of the month. If it is weekly, it should be one of the weeks. If it is monthly, it should be the last Friday. For yearly, it is the last Friday of that respective month in that year. However, this should not be the case. When a customer confirms, 'Please go and take an EOD backup and retain it for 10 years,' Veeam Data Platform does not support this sort of customization. I even raised a case with Veeam Data Platform and they clearly stated that Veeam Data Platform only accepts the GFS policy according to the retention defined, and there is no customization available. This is a significant limitation. I should have the customization to go and take a backup of a specific date, month, or year, but Veeam Data Platform does not allow this and restricts me to only the policy supported. For example, if I take any backup, I do not have an option to extend the retention. If a customer asks, 'Please take a backup,' and later requests, 'No, it is very critical. Can you please extend the retention for 15 years?' Veeam Data Platform does not support this. Veeam Data Platform does not allow me to extend the retention in the way other tools do. These are limitations I came across in my experience, and I feel these are minimal requirements. The same features are offered by other third-party backup tools available in the market. From the analytics point of view, I personally feel some challenges. Veeam Data Platform has two different products: VBR and Veeam Backup for Azure. As we are running on cloud platforms, if we are in Azure, we must go for Veeam Backup for Azure. If we need to create copy jobs, I must again come to VBR. However, Veeam ONE is not capable enough to integrate both platforms. For instance, if I am taking backup of workloads through Veeam Backup for Azure, I could not find an option to integrate it into Veeam ONE for reports and analytics. It is only limited to VBR. Whatever jobs we created in VBR are displayed there, but Veeam Backup for Azure does not integrate, at least from what I have explored, and it should not be this way. Veeam ONE should support all Veeam Data Platform products.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to kick start the service live on the users machine; I also like the graphical representations of data space."
"The data restoration feature is the most valuable because the end user requires minimum support to recover lost data."
"I was using Symantec Backup Exec, and we switched because Mozy is easier to use, and the cost is less."
"I've had good experience with the Mac backup client running silently and keeping files backed up."
"Recovering single emails from Exchange and single items from Active Directory."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable."
"Simple and stable."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"The most valuable aspects are the latest features in version 12.1, which introduced enhanced security features."
"Veeam One is a centralized management and centralized reporting tool. The tool has supportive infrastructure to create specialised applications and some server application. You can add all the resources and infrastructure. You will get the reports, can easily manage and monitor any feature."
"This product gave us the ability to have a single notification point about global infrastructure."
 

Cons

"The sales support is too poor and there is no point of contact, local representatives are not in positions to assist or even provide a proposal."
"The support staff were directed to give support on specifics and to stick to the support plan; anything out of the ordinary would be a challenge."
"Automated client deployment was not straightforward and never worked for me."
"The selection of directories and files to back up can't be managed centrally, it has to be set on each user's computer."
"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for direct backup to tape."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December."
"Compared to IBM, Veeam Data Platform is simpler but brings some challenges with automation in backup and Oracle backup configuration."
"The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Customer Service: 2/10. Technical Support: 2/10."
"In the future, Veeam should release a hardware backup appliance that can be integrated with their software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It is relatively cheap."
"I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category."
"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract."
"When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years."
"The product is expensive."
