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 sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"The monthly reports come complete with graphs and summaries, it's really helpful."
"Veeam communicates with the vCenter in VMware, which means it's very smooth and doesn't interrupt production on VMware and you can backup or restore anytime, anywhere."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The most critical features of Veeam Data Platform for ensuring availability and integrity are its fast virtual machine restoration using duplication for quick backups and the COBRA point functionality that allows us to run regu"
"For me, it's perfect. We don't have any problems with backups and applications."
 

Cons

"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Enhancing the level of automation in IT processes would be beneficial."
"I've never considered what improvements Veeam needs, and I haven't asked our customers if there is any room for improvement. As the manager, I only see the reports."
"The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability."
"This is an expensive solution."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I acknowledge there are concerns about pricing, specifically in gaining more customers for VM. We've encountered difficulties in convincing them due to pricing issues. So, I rate it a six."
"We dont have the exact licensing costs, but we pay for a comprehensive service package that includes technical support, cloud services, and data center services. There may be additional costs beyond the standard license, but I'm not sure about the specifics. However, I believe the yearly cost is around five thousand dollars."
"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."
"We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price."
"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."
"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."
"The price is reasonable."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."
