Trustworthy and provides good availability

Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over. It could be more of a knowledge transfer situation that didn't happen, but we didn't know if it was easy to use. Precisely Assure QuickEDD is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The implementation of QLED helped us with our recovery time objective and was a seamless transition. In order to utilize the product to its fullest potential, users should be knowledgeable of what it offers. They should also form a relationship with the person who is their representative. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

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 most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."

"Synchronous applications are valuable."

"Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance."

"The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery. It is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV. It's a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal."

"Very flexible, all-in-one solution."

"It is way easier to take backup with Veeam Backup & Replication than the regular ones."

"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."

"I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its backup feature."

"Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster recovery."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"There should be more interactive dashboards."

"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."

"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."

"This is an expensive solution."

"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."

"The product must provide better security."

"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."

"Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."

"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."

"The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."

"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."

"We have a yearly perpetual license."

"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."

"I don't have an issue with the price of Veeam Backup Replication."

"I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."

"The cost is expensive. It will depend on how you are managing your environment, your requirements, and if you can easily manage a license. It's not that difficult, so you can manage it, but the cost is high, so you need to check directly with Veeam as well as the local partner so you can get the discount prices."

"The price is great. It's software related, and I know that might be a good thing because it's a cheap solution to buy and we have been looking for a program for backup and they fit the bill."
